Add grated cheese on the toasts. Sprinkle some more seasonings on the breads. Grill the bread for another minute till the cheese starts melting..

Using the authentic Italian cheese (in a lesser amount than the original's ½ cup) ensures a cheesy richness in the makeover with less fat and calories. Common olive oil works better for cooking at high heat than virgin or extra-virgin oil. Tartine is just the French word for crostini or bruschetta. Pomodorini, marinated sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy Stracchino cheese add punches of flavor to this simple recipe. Sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese also make a killer crostini topping.
