Crostini

Crostini (lit. 'little crusts'; sg.: crostino) are an Italian appetizer (antipasto) consisting of small slices of grilled or toasted bread^[1] and toppings.^[2] The toppings may include a variety of different cheeses, meats, vegetables, and condiments, or may be presented more simply with a brush of olive oil and herbs or a sauce.
