These crostini are an ode to simplicity, with rich, creamy butter and briny anchovies. This recipe is timeless and elegant, at home on any countryside table laid for a feast, be it for a wedding, a birthday, or a rowdy family gathering.
The simplicity doesn’t allow for any compromise on quality. Choose the best butter you can afford, rich and if possible unsalted, and the best anchovies you can find. I usually prefer preserved whole salt-packed anchovies, which have a more intense flavor, but good anchovy fillets packed in oil would work as well.
