slices Italian bread, 1/2 inch thick
a variety of cheeses
salami, such as: Ubriaco uncured Italian salami, Soppressata, Italian Dry Salami, etc...

Cut each slice of bread in half crosswise. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn each slice and broil again until crispy and browned, about 2 minutes. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Arrange with the cheeses and meats on a beautiful platter or plate, or attractive cutting board. Add some colorful raw vegetables.
