• rubbed with a clove of garlic.

Crostini:

• it is fried in a frying pan, but with a slightly greased surface with olive oil to form a crust.
• the bread thickness is greater than that of bruschetta.
• the filling is usually made of various types of cheese and any ingredients

Toppings for crostini

Italian sandwich or not?
