Directions

Blackberry Mozzarella Crostini with Pistachios and Hot Honey 

1. First, make your balsamic blackberries. In a small saucepan combine berries, balsamic vinegar, and salt and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the berries have softened and released their juice. In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in a ½ tsp of water, then slowly drizzle into the berries, stirring constantly. Once the mixture has returned to a simmer and thickened, remove from the heat.
2. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slice your baguette into thick slices, about ½ inch thick. You should get about 6-7 pieces. Butter each side of baguette generously and place on the tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
3. Remove crostini from oven and flip over so the browned side is facing up. Top each crostini with half of a Mozzarella slice and 2-3 balsamic berries. Place back in the oven and bake until the crostini are browned and the mozzarella is bubbling, about 10-15 minutes.
4. While the crostini are in the oven make your hot honey. Combine the honey and chili flakes a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well to combine.
5. Remove crostini from oven and top each with pistachios, fresh mint, and a generous drizzle of the hot honey. Enjoy!

Charred Corn and Chili Pepper Monterey Crostini with Basil

1. First, heat up your grill. Husk the corn and brush it with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Once your grill is hot place corn on the grill and rotate every few minutes until charred, about 10 minutes total. Remove corn and allow to cool slightly. Once you can handle it cut the corn off the cob and set aside. Depending on the size of your corn you may not use all of it for the crostini.
2. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slice your baguette into thick slices, about ½ inch thick. You should get about 6-7 pieces. Butter each side of baguette generously and place on the tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
3. Remove crostini from oven and flip it over so the browned side is facing up. Top each crostini with half of a Monterey Jack slice and corn. Place back in the oven and bake until cheese is melted and crostini are browned, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and top each crostini with fresh basil and a pinch of flaky salt. Enjoy!
