Sausage and stracchino crostini are delicious little bites perfect as an appetizer for a rustic lunch or dinner, or for an aperitif with friends.
They are prepared very quickly and only require three ingredients: bread, stracchino, and sausage.
Since I got the air fryer, I’ve been making these crostini with it, whereas I used to make them traditionally with the convection oven. The final result doesn’t change, but the air fryer is much faster.
These crostini are always on my table for any celebration or occasion, as everyone loves them. The secret to their success is that they are truly delicious, with the juices soaking into the bread and making it very flavorful.
You just have to try them!

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I also make the crostini in a traditional oven?
Yes, these crostini can also be made with a traditional oven, and the cooking times are similar. Set the temperature to 390°F for 10 minutes. The advantage of air fryer cooking is that the preheating times are much shorter, saving time and electricity.
