Summer is made for toasted bread (aka crostini) with a variety of seasonal toppings!
Peach and mascarpone crostini are perfect summer appetizers.
What is Crostini?
Crostini is an Italian word for little toasts. They are perfect as appetizers and can be topped with cold or hot ingredients.
Bruschetta is similar except it's generally made with larger bread and has a hot topping.
Spreadable Mascarpone For Peach Crostini
Some Mascarpone's aren't that sweet and taste more like cream cheese. Mix honey into them if that's the case.
My favorite mascarpone is from Vermont Creamery.
If you can't find mascarpone, try:
- Whip Cream / whipped cream
- Strained Greek Yogurt
- Ricotta Cheese
- Cream Cheese
- Crème Fraîche
Things In My Kitchen:
- 9" Bread Knife - Victorinox is a solid company and I like the curved handle for slicing bread.

Ingredients
- 1 large baguette
- 12 ounces mascarpone
- 5 medium peaches
- 30 mint leaves
- e.v. olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Slice one large baguette on the diagonal (you should get ~30-35 pieces). Baste each side of every slice with a little e.v. olive oil. Lightly salt and pepper both sides.
- Bake bread on a lined sheet at 350F ~ 8- 10 minutes uncovered. You want these guys to be crispy but not burnt. Some people say toast until golden, but they’ve gone too long if they start changing to a darker color. After all, you want the roof of your mouth to stay intact.
- Peel (optional), pit, and slice the peaches. Reserve any juices from the peaches and pour it in your whiskey, spritzer, or water.
- Spread a bit of mascarpone on the crostini, add a peach slice or two, and top with a mint leaf.
