Crostini are a perfect vessel for making yummy and creative small bites. These crispy little breads can stand up to just about any topping.

Some other topping ideas for crostini:

• Cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and pickled red onion
• Caprese: tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar
• Hummus, roasted red peppers, kalamata olive
• Chicken salad, dried cranberries and toasted almonds
• Chevre, fig and honey with fresh herbs
• Olive Crostini with Fresh Mozzarella

Not only are they yummy but are super easy to make!

How to make Crostini with Pear, Fig and Bacon:

•  Just slice up some baguette, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and seasoning (I use Trader Joe’s garlic salt grinder but a little salt and pepper will do).
• Toast the bread slices in the oven at 350 degrees F until light golden and crisped.
• Then top the breads with slices of brie and place in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese (about 4 minutes). 
• Then top with some of the Pear, Fig and Bacon Chutney and a few toasted pecan pieces, Garnish with fresh herbs and voila!
