Method

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients and assemble a selection of toppings.

Step 2

Lay the slices of bread on a grill pan and toast one side, then remove from the grill and turn the bread over.

Step 3

Arrange all the toppings on the bread, to create a selection of different crostini. Make a few of each type. It doesn’t matter if the toppings overlap a little.

Step 4

Sprinkle each crostini with a little grated Cheddar.

Step 5

Grill until starting to brown and serve.

Recipe tips

As you’re only flashing things under the grill, you’ll need to pre-cook most vegetables, such as mushrooms or sweet peppers. Then, it’s just a matter of assembling the crostini and grilling for a few minutes.
This recipe is really easy to adapt – we’ve suggested toppings, but you can choose your favourites or use up what you have in the fridge.
Crostini are great for using up stale bread. You can use most breads apart from pre sliced because you need a thick slice with a crust.
