I love crostini!!!
They are simple, delicious, and can be made with lots of different toppings or spreads. If you are a fan of roasted peppers, you will love these. The spread is essentially a mixture of beans, roasted red pepper, garlic and herbs.
I used a combination of garbanzo and canellini beans, but you can use whatever types you prefer.
Buen provecho!

Since my husband enjoys bean dishes, I usually have a variety on hand. I really need to make the various bean dip recipes that you've shared with us, especially since the herbs that you use are now starting to grow in my garden! This dip in particular looks marvelous. 😎

....and another winner. I swear Erica - you really need to write a cookbook, the amazing recipes just keep coming. I love the sound of this one, and if I had not gone a bit loco at the Farmer's Market this weekend I'd make up a batch now, as it is - trying to access the fridge is a bit scary.
