Greek Green Olive Crostini

Greek Green Olive Crostini

If you want to open Valentine’s dinner with something that feels effortless yet thoughtfully put together, these Greek Green Olive Crostini are a perfect place to start. Crisp baguette slices topped with crushed green olives, garlic, olive oil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano offer bold Mediterranean flavour without being heavy. Olives and extra-virgin olive oil are key components of traditional Mediterranean eating patterns, which are widely associated with heart health and overall wellbeing.
Garlic adds warmth and savoury depth, while also containing naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that have long been valued in European cooking. Finished with aged Parmesan for a salty, umami note, this is the kind of starter that invites you to slow down, pour a drink, and enjoy the evening ahead.
