Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality Serrano ham, bread, and olive oil you can find. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the crostini.
Slice the Serrano ham thinly: This will help it crisp up nicely in the oven.
Toast the bread until it's golden brown: This will give the crostini a nice crunch.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the crostini so that they can cook evenly.
Watch the crostini carefully in the oven: They can burn quickly, so be sure to take them out as soon as they're golden brown.
Serve the crostini immediately: They're best when they're hot and crispy.
