A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the meatball ingredients, then roll into small meatballs (~1 tbsp or so in size, 22 meatballs) ensuring the sizes are consistent.
- Space out the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Once done, leave the oven on for the crostinis.
- Slice the baguette into 22 pieces, one for each meatball. Space out the pieces on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil over the baguette slices and bake for 10 minutes.
- Once slightly toasted, top each baguette slice with a thin layer of marinara sauce, then a sprinkle of cheese and then place a meatball on top. If you'd like, you can place a little cheese on top of the meatballs as well.
- Once all of the crostini are assembled, bake for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the baguette is crunchy. Serve immediately!
