Storing Crostini: You can bake the crostini without toppings up to 3 days ahead. Store the plain crostini in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to top and serve.
Make Gluten-Free Crostini: Follow the recipe using a gluten-free baguette in place of the traditional baguette. Some common brands are Schar, Udis, and BFree. Make sure the toppings you choose are also gluten-free!
