Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.

Technique notes
  • Serve the spread in a shallow bowl so guests can swipe crostini without breaking them.
  • Salt sliced tomatoes only at serving time to prevent watery toppings.
Useful swaps
  • Use seeded crackers for a gluten aware board.
  • Whipped feta or dairy free cream cheese can replace the spread.
Storage & reheating

Refrigerate spread for up to 4 days and vegetables for 2 days; keep toast airtight at room temperature.
