Woodland “Forest Fairy” Crostini Bites

Jump to Recipe

These delicious Forest Fairy Crostini Bites are made from toasted baguette slices, a creamy goat cheese spread, and assorted fruits and herbs. I absolutely love recipes like this where everything starts with the same base, but different toppings can create different flavor combinations!

This crostini recipe can be made with three different sweet-and-savory fruit and herb combinations:

  • Strawberry & Mint Crostini

  • Blackberry & Thyme Crostini

  • Tomato & Dill Crostini
