There are many names for toasted bread with different toppings, normally served as an aperitivo or tapa and traditionally a way of salvaging bread that was going stale. In Spain tostas are a common feature on taps bar menus but probably the most well known name in the UK for these toasted bites is bruschetta or crostini. Traditionally, bruschetta are toasted bread served with a topping of chopped tomato, olive oil and herbs whilst crostini are toasts with a larger variety of toppings. For this dish, we wanted to get creative and so have used some sherry vinegar to create a glaze for the tomatoes and pilled these on top of a delicious rosemary sheeps’ cheese and some mango jam.
