HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

02

Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

03

While the baguette toasts, in a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork.

04

Add the drained capers, chopped fresh parsley, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix gently to combine.

05

Taste the tuna mixture and adjust seasoning if needed. No additional salt is typically required due to the capers.

06

Spoon a generous amount of the tuna and caper mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

07

Serve immediately and enjoy your Italian Tuna and Caper Crostini.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, lightly rub a cut garlic clove over the toasted baguette slices before topping. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick to the tuna mixture.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have capers, finely chopped green olives can be used. For a creamier texture, a tablespoon of mayonnaise can be mixed into the tuna salad. Feel free to add finely diced red onion for a sharper bite.

Storage & Reheating

Crostini are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover tuna mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Store toasted baguette slices separately in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day; re-crisp in a toaster oven if desired before assembling.
