Fresh and delicious Avocado Bruschetta Crostinis!
I have been on a crostinis kick lately. First it started with the Peach Prosciutto Goat Cheese Crostinis, which were a big hit, and now these Avocado Bruschetta Crostinis. They are so fresh and light, making it perfect for a warm summer night.
I made these for a date night dinner last month. We don’t normally have an “appetizer” hour. If we do, it’s usually some chips because dinner is taking way long than expected and I’m starving. But every once in awhile, I like to make dinner a bit more special. I feel like Bryan and I have been passing ships in the night a lot lately, which is fine. It happens. When it does though, I put in a little extra effort for our time together. These were made for that type of night.
