Prosciutto Basil Crostini is a quick and easy appetizer…for indoor or outdoor party guests…or just for two!
I grow basil in my Secret Garden and can not imagine being without it.
I can toss together an appetizer in two shakes of a lambs tail…add a nice bottle of wine and the Captain and I are set for a wonderful evening by the pool.
Enjoy!
