The Holidays Call For A Build-it-Yourself Crostini Bar

Throwing a party? Allow your guest to get as creative as they like with a Build-It-Yourself Crostini Bar.  The base of this concept is the crostini, slices of toasted or grilled bread, which can be piled high with spreads and toppings.  Make a variety of crostini from baguettes that range from traditional, ciabatta, whole grain and even gluten free.   Prepare ahead with a few simple staples, and why not showcase your creativity by making some of the selections on your bar?  Design a knockout crostini bar with selections of meat and cheese, something spreadable, something pickled and something sweet for a party stunner that will allow you to relax and enjoy your guest.
