Crostini are a classic Italian antipasti. The crispy slices of bread are quick and easy to make – but impressively delicious.
The varied breads are great for starters, as a small lunch or dinner and especially for parties and buffets.
Unlike bruschetta, crostini are bread that is first toasted and then topped. They can then be baked again.
Crostini are particularly good for cooking leftovers because the bread can be a few days old. Freshly toasted , it still tastes incredibly good. And you can also give one or two leftovers a new lease of life with toppings.
Tip: Once toasted in the oven, slices of bread will stay tasty and crispy for a few days if you store them in an airtight container.
