LC Cheese Crostini

I have not missed bread that much since I've been on my low-carb diet but I do miss the convenience of making sandwiches for lunch. I wanted to make a loaf of low-carb bread for sandwiches. So I searched the net to find a recipe.

Well, I found one that looked pretty good and very easy to make. Then I made it. Oh, does it not taste like the way it looked. So, instead of throwing away the whole loaf, I turned it into delicious cheese crostini.
