These crostini were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chili flakes next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crostini turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the pork.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I had to read it through a few times before I understood what I was supposed to do.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used a different type of bread and I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. They turned out great!

These were so easy to make and they tasted delicious. I used a store-bought pesto sauce and it worked perfectly.
