Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

2 ripe peaches, diced into small pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for a spicy kick)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Juice of 1 fresh lime

1 tablespoon honey, or to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for creaminess)

Olive oil, for brushing the bread

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baguette: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sliced baguette rounds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly brush one side of each slice with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

    Make the Peach Salsa: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro.

      Dress the Salsa: Squeeze the juice of the lime over the salsa mixture. Drizzle with honey for sweetness and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Using a large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or honey for balance.

        Assemble the Crostinis: On each toasted baguette slice, spoon a generous amount of the peach salsa mixture, ensuring each crostini is beautifully topped. If desired, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top for a delightful creamy contrast.

          Serve: Arrange the completed crostinis on a decorative serving platter. These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the salsa up to one hour in advance; simply store it in the refrigerator and assemble the crostinis just before serving for optimal freshness.
