60 gram butter |
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (icing sugar) with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 or 2 tablespoons rose water |
Directions:
1. Toast the slices of french bread or larger slices.

3. Cut the cheese in 18 slices.
4. Preparation:
5. Heat the (oven with built-in) grill.
6. Cover each piece of bread with a slice of Mozzarella. Place the crostini under the grill until the cheese has melted and is starting to colour.
