Blackberry and Goat Cheese Crostini
Crisp, golden baguette slices form the base of this elevated appetizer, topped with decadently creamy goat cheese and a burst of sweet, fresh blackberries. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with the peppery hint of fresh basil and the rich, tangy sweetness of a balsamic glaze. Originating from Italy, crostini are perfect for social gatherings, adding a touch of elegance to any event.
