bread: In Italian, Crostini means small toast. You can make these with a variety of different types of bread.Our favorite types of bread to use are baguette. This is a perfect sized crusty loaf. Some other breads include:
Toast: You can simply cut the bread and sprinkle the pepper mixture on top, or bake it first:
- Lay the cut bread on the cookie sheet
- Butter each slice
- Bake on high heat for 2-5 minutes, watching carefully as they can go from fully browned to charred in seconds. Believe me!
lead and store
Do it in advance: because of avocado I do not recommend more than 3-4 hours in advance Otherwise the avocado will turn brown. If you want to prepare the other ingredients the day before and store them in separate containers, you can.
Then, when you’re ready to assemble everything, go ahead and cut the avocados and mix them together.
Also, don’t put caprese mix on crostini until you are ready to serve Because the bread will get soggy after a while.
Leftovers: The remaining Caprese mixture can be saved Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avocados will turn brown, But you can still eat. Leftover raw toast can be stored in a Ziploc or wrapped in foil for a few days.
