Assemble Your Italian Crostini

Crostini is kind of like making a sandwich, the order you place your ingredients on matters for structural integrity.

  1. To your crostini, spread on some Italian Herb Ricotta Dip with Sundried Tomatoes.
  2. Add a slice of heirloom tomato, a slice of prosciutto, and basil ribbons finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Recipe Substitutions

The beauty of this recipe is you can go with what you have on hand and make it completely your own. Here are a few ways I’ve served these:

  • Meat – speck, salami, capicola all work
  • Veggies – grilled mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, artichoke hearts, caramelized onions
  • Cheese – top with some stracciatella, burrata, shaved parmesan

    I loved the combination of flavors and toppings on this recipe so much, that I converted it into a sandwhich!
    I also added jarred roasted bell peppers. Delish. 🙂
