Notes
Expert Tips• Cut the baguette on the diagonal for the best shaped slices of crostini • Short on time? Cut the bread thicker but don’t toast it • Or serve the above combinations on crackers instead • Vary the cheese – goat’s cheese can replace the Taleggio and Parmesan or Pecorino can be used instead of blue cheese (just slice it thinly) • Use our Pearls Fig, Apricot and Apple Chutney in place of Harmony
