Any way that you make them, make more than you think you will need. At our house, these are the first apps to go. No one can resist the crunchy toasts with topping.

WHY IS IT CALLED CROSTINI?
Crostiniis an Italian word meaning “little toasts”. Crostini are small thin slices of toasted bread usually brushed with olive oil and served with toppings as an appetizer. They are sometimes confused with bruschetta, which are usually larger and thicker slices of bread, an italian loaf vs french, and drenched in olive oil and garlic.
OTHER TOPPINGS FOR CROSTINI
Try other savory combinations like brie and roasted red peppers. Cream cheese, pepper jelly and pecans are another delicious combination!
Guest will love sweet crostini too! Make crostini topped with melted cheddar and cinnamon apple slices, or cream cheese, strawberry jelly and toasted walnuts.
