Crostini literally means ‘little crusts’ in Italian . These dainty-looking appetizers consist of crisped bread with interesting toppings, in this case a creamy and cheesy mixture of mushrooms, olives and onions perked up with pepper and mustard paste.


The Mushroom Olive Crostini is an all-rounder, with an irresistible appearance, peppy flavour and inviting aroma too. Just make sure the crostini is served as soon as it is prepared.


This bite size appetizer is perfect for a Cocktail Party .

Nice crunchy toast with an awesome filling of mushrooms and olive. Great snack and i used whole wheat bread to make it healthier.
