This crostini brings together culinary worlds that once seemed far apart—Italian crostini and the classic New York bagel with lox. It’s like a mini bagel reinvented as an elegant Italian appetizer, uniting the smoky richness of Jewish deli tradition with the fresh, herby simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine.

I think any smoked meat can be used in this soup.
