Crostini with Mozzarella and Tomato image

I had this in an Italian Restaurant close to home. This is my version. Make extra because these little treats disappear rather quickly.

I made these crostini with gluten-free bread and they were still delicious. I'm so glad I found this recipe!

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of mozzarella, but I really enjoyed these crostini. The tomato topping is so flavorful that it makes up for the mozzarella.

These crostini were easy to make and very tasty. I used fresh mozzarella and tomatoes from my garden and they were perfect.
