Turkish Bread Crostini

Submitted by Ninna

"I just love this recipe, I make it whenever we have guests and need nibbles. I use it for dips and with soup but they taste so great I eat them on their own as well. I found this recipe on Taste.com website but it came from Super Food Ideas Magazine December 2005 (my favourite cooking magazine). In fact whenever we have left over Turkish bread slices I freeze them and when I have enough I make crostini with them."
