What is Crostini?
In Italian it means "little toasts". Normally crostini's are made from thinly sliced white bread, drizzled with olive oil and salt, which is then toasted or grilled until crispy.
The crostini pictured above is sliced a little thicker and is made from a ciabatta bread (Italian Slipper bread). Since this crostini has a topping and served cold, the bread was not toasted prior to adding of the roasted garlic spread, beef, provolone cheese, tomato and green onion, otherwise it would become too chewy upon serving.
