Garlic and Cheese Crostini

recipe from Epicurious

24 (1/3-inch-thick) baguette slices

1/4 cup olive oil, divided

3/4 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano

5 large garlic cloves, minced

Kosher salt

2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

Arrange bread slices in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and brush tops with 3 tbsp oil.

Stir together remaining 1 tbsp oil, cheese, garlic, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle each slice with about 1 tsp cheese mixture, mounding it slightly.

Bake until topping just starts to melt, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and kosher salt to taste. Serve warm.

Cook's Note: Cheese mixture can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.
