Description
Crisp crostini topped with basil pesto, creamy burrata, and toasted pine nuts for an easy, elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup prepared basil pesto

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
2. Toast for 8-10 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp.
