If I’ve got fresh pesto on hand, there’s a good chance I’m making crostini. I love simple foods like this and I can’t eat enough basil and tomatoes in the summertime!

This year I’ve got four healthy basil plants in the garden and I’ve been making homemade pesto like crazy. Paired with a bit of rubbed garlic, cherry heirloom tomatoes, a sprinkling of pine nuts, and a little asiago cheese, this is a simple crostini “recipe” that lets the pesto shine.
