Let’s Prepare These Simple and Tasty Triangles
I lightly toast the slices of bread in a skillet or on the griddle until they have that beautiful golden color
When slightly warm, I cut them in half diagonally and generously spread each crostino with fresh cheese.
I add a few wedges of cherry tomato (yellow and red grape tomatoes) washed and dried on each slice.
I season with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
I finish these super quick crostini with white bread by adding a bit of pesto on each savory tartine and a few fresh basil leaves.
And it’s ready to serve immediately!Enjoy your meal and happy cooking!

Storage
These crostini should be enjoyed immediately after preparation to maintain the crispiness of the bread and the freshness of the tomatoes. However, you can toast the bread and cut the cherry tomatoes in advance, keeping them separate in the fridge for up to 3-4 hours.
