“The great thing about crostini is that you don’t need many ingredients to make the perfect summer appetiser. If you have some panne to toast and a few slices of meat and cheese, you can make a beautiful plate of cicchetti (snacks) to enjoy with a drink.” – Kate Zoeller

Recipe note: The topping will make enough for about 12 crostini. You can serve with the bresaola, chive and caper mascarpone crostini recipe and prosciutto, roasted peach and pecorino crostini.

This recipe is by Kate Zoeller, head chef at Genovese Coffee House
