OLIVE AND ROASTED PEPPER CROSTINI
Based on a recipe from Jill Sklar's and Annabel Cohen's book, Eating for Acid Reflux. They say in its intro, "An appetizer you can make in a hurry, these crostini are delicious as appetizers, to serve with soup or salad or anytime you need a quick snack. They exclude reflux triggers like tomatoes and garlic, yet still retain the flavors that make these such a popular appetizer choice. For variety, add ingredients, change ingredients, and develop your own repertoire of crostini." I haven't tried this yet.

OLIVE-CHEESE CROSTINI
If you love olives, you will LOVE this spread! This makes about 38-40 of the most delicious crostini appetizers, and they will be the first to vanish at you get together! Make certain to hand-squeeze out the excess moisture in the olives before using in this recipe. Small pumpernickel party slices also work well in place of the French baguette! I strongly suggest to chill the mixture for about 5 hours or even overnight to blend the flavors before topping on the bread, just warm very slightly for a few seconds in the microwave to make spreading easier. If you want lots of olive topping, then double the recipe but do not double the garlic amount!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The fresher the tomatoes, the better the crostini will taste. Look for tomatoes that are bright red and have a sweet smell.
- Use good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a rich flavor and aroma that will complement the other ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the crostini, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Serve the crostini immediately: Egg and olive crostini are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the bread is crispy and the eggs are still runny.
Conclusion:
Egg and olive crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, egg and olive crostini are sure to be a hit.
