Goodbye to Summer: Crostini Party

Crostini--"little toasts" in Italian--are my go to appetizer. They are the perfect base for showcasing simple ingredients and favorite flavor combinations. The seasons are about to change so I wanted to give summer's bounty a final hurray. Some of these are repeat offenders...I can never get enough of that fig jam, cheese & mint combo! To make crostini, slice a baguette 1/4" thick, brush with olive oil and baked on a cookie sheet @ 375 degrees for ten minutes, or until lightly brown. Top as desired.
