What is a rule of thumb for adding crostini toppings?
Assemble crostini appetizers just before they are served to prevent soggy toasts. If left on top of the toasts too long, some toppings can cause the crisp toasts to become soggy. As for topping strategies, one such crostini formula is beginning with a spread or spreadable soft cheese (like fresh mozzarella or whipped ricotta) and then topping with meats or veggies or tomatoes—to name a few. Finish crostini toast apps with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze or extra virgin olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley.
