Tips:

- To make the best crostini, use a good quality baguette. A fresh, crusty baguette will give you the best results. - When grilling the crostini, be sure to brush them with olive oil first. This will help them to crisp up and prevent them from burning. - If you don't have a grill, you can also toast the crostini in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the crostini for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown. - For the olive relish, be sure to use fresh, ripe olives. You can use any type of olive you like, but Kalamata olives and green olives are both popular choices. - If you want a spicier relish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers. - The crostini can be served immediately with the olive relish, or you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
