It was my turn to prepare refreshments again yesterday in church. Am running out of ideas now. Was doing grocery shopping last Friday and I chanced upon some baguettes. I bought 2 without knowing what to do with them. At the most we can have them for breakfast. As I mulled over what to prepare for the refreshments, I thought why don't I use the baguette to make crostinis. Crostinis are mini crispy toasts. Had lunch with Hubby at Il Lido Restaurant at Sentosa some time ago, and remembered that they served crostinis as a starter. It was first drizzled with olive oil and then baked. I used garlic butter with herbs. After slicing the baguette, I let the slices air in the open so that they will dry out. After that, put on the spread and put in the oven to bake at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes.
To go with the crispy toasts, I made an otak dip (the orangey one). At church, some people thought it looked like mustard, and dared not try it. Some thought it was a cheese dip. Msot were surprised that it was an otak dip and they have never tried it before. They were even more surprised when I told them I put silken tofu to blend with the otak, so that the dip will be smooth. A little mayonnaise was added as well. For the egg dip, it was quite standard. Use hard boiled eggs, mayo, a little butter and herbs.
