Sauteed Grape Tomato Crostini

Grape tomatoes sauteed with garlic and herbs on a toasted baguette with ricotta and prosciutto.

You can never go wrong with cheese and bread. Put some sauteed grape tomatoes, prosciutto, cheese and crostinis together and you get the rock star of all appetizers.

If you grow tomatoes then you know how much a single plant can produce. If you can't give the excess tomatoes away you are most likely searching the web for recipes. After all, they can't go to waste. Have bigger tomatoes in the garden? Check out my Grilled Pepperoni & Cheese Tomatoes Recipe.

Quick to make. Easy to assemble. The only downfall to these super flavorful crostinis is that you will eat so many that you will not want the main course when it arrives. Filling up on appetizers isn't always a bad thing, right?
