Roasted Pepper, Olive and Goat Cheese Crostini

Call these Crostini, appetizer, canape, or finger food; just prepare to make lots of them, as all these flavors and their crispy texture will get you hooked.

These little toasted baguettes are ideal for carrying the taste of good, wholesome Mediterranean ingredients. This is not a Crostini that will compete when served with the flavors of the salad or main course but can stand alone as an appetizer that is not fussy, just delicious.

Select gluten-free baguettes to make this a gluten-free recipe.
