Notes
See Café Tips above in post for further tips and instructions.
It's fine to use olive oil only for these crostini instead of the butter/olive oil combination.
Crostini means "little toasts" in Italian. These tasty little treats are golden, crispy, slices of Italian or French bread. They are great for snacking, dipping, floating on soups or serving alongside salads in place of croutons. You can top them with bruschetta, or various spreads and/or cheeses and serve them as hors-d'oeuvres. They are wonderful for last minute parties or unexpected guests as they can be prepared in minutes
