Ingredients for Crostini with Cheese, Peaches, and Cashews
- 6 slices sandwich bread
- 6 teaspoons fresh spreadable cheese
- 2 peaches
- to taste cashews
- 6 teaspoons wildflower honey
- A few leaves mint
Preparation of Crostini with Cheese, Peaches, and Cashews
Arrange the slices of sandwich bread on a work surface and cut out rounds with a cookie cutter (or a glass). I used a cookie cutter with a diameter of 3 inches.
Then cut the peaches into thin slices, with the skin on.
Now place both the sandwich bread rounds and the peach slices on a grill, and grill them on both sides.
Prepare the crostini by spreading a teaspoon of spreadable cheese on each round of sandwich bread. Then add three grilled peach slices, the cashews, mint leaves, and honey.
And voilà, your delicious appetizer with cheese and fruit is ready. A great idea to start a wonderful lunch with friends!
Suggestions
For preparing crostini with cheese, peaches, and cashews, you can substitute the spreadable cheese with gorgonzola. In this case, you can use thyme instead of mint.
