Gotta love a good crostini & you can just about do anything with these can’t you. Love the roast beef combination though, lovely :)

Avocado Crostini:
We purchased artisan baguettes, sliced them diagonally 1/2 inch thick, brushed the bread with olive oil and toasted both sides. Spread mild goat cheese or cream cheese on crostini. Lay avocado slices on top of the cheese and sprinkle with sea salt. Drizzle EVO on top.

My favorite of ALL TIME is your strawberry/basil/goat cheese crostini. I served it at a baby shower in August and it was a HUGE hit, so much so that the mama I’m hosting a shower for in January asked for the same thing.

In January.

Uhhhh…fresh strawberries and basil in January? Yikes.

I’ve talked her into another one with marmalade, brie and pistachios…better suited for a winter event!

I love to brush slices of French bagette with olive oil, sprinkle with course salt and chopped fresh rosemary and toast in the oven. They are super alone or for topping or dipping into dips or cheese fondue. The week before Christmas I did a whole week of easy appetizers on my blog. Happy New Year lovely Lady! Sheila

Thanks for sharing – I missed that issue but am headed home to do some cooking/baking with my Mom – so these might make our final “definitely try” list. Happy New Year!

I have a full size file box with hanging folders for recipe clippings—so much fun to look through for something new and different, or even the tried and true. Happy New Year Sandy!

Oh my word, that looks delicious! I’m thinking that this may have to be a New Year’s Eve MUST in our house!
BTW~ I’m very happy to report that Peggy gave me your book over Christmas and I was so excited! I’ve already read half of it :o) Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! That was really sweet of you!

I haven’t done crostini though I love it. This week we are going to a friends house and I’m bringing homemade pita chips and hummus. I had some leftover pita bread last week and some leftover hummus, so I thought I’d make my own chips. I cut the pita bread into triangles, but you could do squares, placed those on a sprayed baking sheet and then sprayed the tops of the pita with cooking spray, and cooked at 350 till crisp and lightly browned….they were amazing!!!! Super easy!!!!
