The crostini with cheese, bresaola, and olives are a delicious appetizer that is extremely quick to prepare: you need just a few ingredients to put it together in a few minutes. For my crostini with cheese, bresaola, and olives, I used a delicious herb cheese spread, but a plant-based cheese would also work great if you’re intolerant. I sliced the bresaola into thin strips and used some leftover grilled zucchini for decoration. A touch of fresh basil and you’re done! The aperitif or appetizer is served in no time!
