    I had this for lunch today and loved it! I scaled the recipe down for 2 people. I used homemade Italian dressing and wheat French bread. Thanks for something I will make again!

    Dorothy - another winner! Have you noticed the calorie count? There must be a mistake - 617 Calories for 2 Crostini I think this must be for all 8 of them. I minced the tomatoe and basil together with the 6 Tbsp of fat free Italian dressing except for enough pieces of tomatoes to decorate each with a piece on top. Went over really well — Apr 1, 2002, Additional comments: I made these again and this time added 2 cloves of garlic and sprinkled parmesan on top - original or with the garlic excellent appetizer - I did use thin bread slices too Thanks again Derf

    I first had these when visiting a friend, they were delicious, I made them yesterday for an Easter appy, they were certainly not as good as I remembered! A suggestion for anyone wanting to try them, if I make them again, I would chop the sundried tomatoes, quite fine,(from my friend)I think that is why here's were so much better than mine!!
