Crostini, meaning "little crusts" in Italian, are thin slices of toasted or grilled bread typically topped with a variety of flavorful ingredients. Originating from Italy, they are often served as appetizers or snacks, showcasing the simplicity and versatility of Mediterranean cuisine. The base is traditionally made from a baguette or rustic Italian bread, brushed with olive oil and toasted until crisp. Common toppings include fresh vegetables, cheese, cured meats, spreads like pesto, and herbs. Crostini are a source of carbohydrates and can be moderately healthy depending on the toppings—fresh produce and olive oil add nutrients, healthy fats, and antioxidants, while richer additions like processed meats and creamy cheeses can increase calorie and sodium content. They’re best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, especially if paired with nutrient-dense ingredients. Crostini are a delicious way to experience Italian flavors with endless creative possibilities.
