We love when summer squash comes into season. We usually make summer squash crostini for a simple lunch, an appetizer for a party by the grill, or a light dinner with a salad. These are super easy to make and go well with a Rosé or Sauvignon Blanc.
We usually use goat cheese, but we had delicious fresh cream cheese from Tomales Farmstead Creamery (c/o) that we used instead. We love using garlic olive oil like this. It’s delicious and makes it quick.
To make the toasts, we recommend using this or this to get a nice crisp crostini.
