Place the Crostini in a preheated sallow bowl, then pour the oysters on top of the bread. Sprinkle with romano cheese. Serve

Chef's Notes:
Silver Spring (TM) Dill Mustard had the perfect combination of dill, mustard and horseradish for this recipe!! The flavors marry so perfectly with the oysters and salami....

There are many adaptations that can be made from this recipe, but I have found that if you just keep it simple, it is the best for this recipe!
