CAPONATA CROSTINI

One of my favourite appetizers to make is crostini. They are great for entertaining. Whenever I have friends over I make some sort of crostini to have with a bottle of wine. The base is always bread, then top with whatever you like. I had some caponata in my fridge and halloumi cheese so I put them together and it was delicious. I topped it with some fresh basil for the perfect bite.
