This peach crostini recipe with mascarpone and mint is fresh, sweet, and savory.  Ohhh - peach and mascarpone crostini are also a completely addicting appetizer.

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.
