Crostini Heaven

Crostini stands for “little toast” in Italian. They are brushed with some olive oil and crisped in the oven enough to add some savory toppings on them. The first time I actually ever had a crostini was during my time in Italy, and ever since then my obsession for them grew. I went ahead and decided to try out some fun and different toppings that I’ve never had before. I’ll list the ingredients I used for my toppings but feel free to get creative with yours as well. The fun of a crostini is that the topping possibilities are endless!
