Crostini are typically an appetizer consisting of small slices of grilled or toasted bread with toppings.  And what could be better than BREAD with TOPPINGS!?  You can mix and match what you like and top, but I suggest trying ham and brie.  You won’t regret it.

  1. Preheat the oven and line the baking sheet with foil.  Melt butter, slice bread and brush on bread slices. Gently sprinkle with garlic salt.
  2. Bake until golden brown.  Remove from oven.
  3. Top toast with one slice of ham and one slice of brie.  Put back in oven and bake for 5 minutes, until the brie starts to melt.

  5. Remove from oven.  Add pear slice, sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper.
