If you’ve been to a couple of my parties, you’ll probably notice a common denominator. No, I’m not talking about the large quantities of booze (this is a given), I’m talking about crostini! I’m obsessed with the bite-sized appetizer. There are a million different ways to top crostini from melty cheese to salty salami to creamy avocado. This sun-dried tomato and goat cheese variation is super easy to throw together at any time of year, although the burnt reddish color brings to mind fall. Pair with a glass of bubbly and some fabulous company and you’ve got yourself an easy little party!
