Frequently Asked Questions:
What is crostini?
Crostini is a traditional Italian appetizer made up of small slices of grilled or toasted bread that are topped with a combination of meats, cheeses, veggies and antipasti. The toasts are thin, crisp and sturdy so that they can be an adequate foundation for spreads, bruschettas, cured meats, soft cheeses, fresh herbs and more. Sometimes crostini are drizzled with extra virgin olive oil or tangy balsamic vinegar glaze.
What does crostini mean in Italian?
The word crostini means “little crusts” in Italian, referring to the thin, crispy toasts that serve as the foundation of crostini appetizers. These toasts are brushed with olive oil and then grilled or baked. Seasonings are typically simple and may include sea salt, sesame seeds or roasted garlic.
What is a rule of thumb for adding crostini toppings?
Crostini toasts should be assembled just before they are served. Toppings can make the crostini toast soggy if you take too long to eat them. One such formula for crostini is using a spread or spreadable soft cheese (like creamy goat cheese or ricotta) as the base and then stacking meats, tomatoes or vegetables on top. We love finishing crostini appetizers with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
What do Italians put on their crostini?
In Italy, crostini appetizers and their toppings vary by region and season. Fresh chopped tomatoes and basil over a spread of whipped ricotta are a popular summertime crostini. Olives or a briny olive tapenade are a colorful, flavorful crostini topping that pairs well with creamy goat cheese or fresh mozzarella. Prosciutto and fig are another great pairing.
