Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and arrange on a large baking sheet. Bake the crostini for 5 minutes, or until crisp, but not golden. Immediately rub 1 side of each crostini with the garlic. Let cool on the baking sheet. Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the eggs and return to a boil, then boil for 7 minutes. Immerse the eggs in the ice water bath until completely cool, then peel and transfer to a medium bowl. Lightly mash the eggs with a large fork. Gently stir in the chives, vinegar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

• Spread asparagus pieces on parchment-lined small baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
• While asparagus is baking, blanch peas. Fill a small saucepan half full with water. Bring to a boil. Add peas and let cook 1 minute until peas are bright green. Immediately drain peas in a strainer and run cold water over them. Shake off excess water and set aside.
• To make egg salad: cut hard-boiled eggs in half. Separate egg whites and yolks. Chop egg whites into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside. Put the egg yolks in a small-medium bowl. Add mayonnaise to the egg yolks and mix with a fork until smooth. Add salt and pepper and mix. Add chopped egg whites, peas, and cooled asparagus. Stir.
• Wash and gently pat dry basil leaves with a cloth or paper towel. To assemble, put 2 medium basil leaves on each baguette toast. Using two small spoons, place 1 to 2 tablespoons egg salad in the middle of the toast on top of the basil so the basil shows at either end. Garnish with smaller basil leaves.
• These crostini are best made just before serving, but can be made up to 2 hours in advance and kept refrigerated before serving.
• Tips
• Substitute frozen peas for fresh. Follow the recipe to blanch them.
• Try other garnishes on top of the egg salad: dried basil, paprika, red chili flakes, grated Parmesan cheese.
