THREE CHEESE CROSTINI APPETIZER
Steps:
- Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler element. Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl gently toss the tomatoes, shallots, 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and vinegar together. Spread out the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Set the baking sheet on a rack under the broiler element. Broil until the tomatoes begin to show a few black spots, about 4 minutes with oven door closed. Turn the mixture, using a spatula, and broil 3 minutes longer with the oven door closed. Remove from the oven and transfer the mixture with a slotted spoon to a small bowl; set the bowl aside until needed. Retain the broiler heat on high.
- While the tomatoes are broiling, combine the ricotta, blue cheese, pesto, 1/2 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and lemon peel in a medium bowl.
- Arrange the baguette slices on a large baking sheet and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Put the baking sheet on the rack under the broiler element and broil until golden, about 1 minute or so per side, watching carefully. Remove from oven.
- To assemble, season the tomato mixture with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and peppercorns, then stir in the basil. Spread some of the ricotta mixture over each crostini. Top with the tomato/onion mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheese, dividing all the ingredients equally among the slices. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

GARLIC HERB BUTTER CROSTINI
This is my absolute favorite crostini! If you've never cooked with anchovies before, don't worry, they don't taste "fishy" at all and they totally dissolve in the butter. In fact, when I serve this I never tell people that there are anchovies in it. If anyone asks, I just say that I use garlic and herbs and my 'secret ingredient'. So far no one has guessed my secret ingredient and everyone loves the crostini. Based on a recipie by Giada De Laurentiis.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a more flavorful crostini. A good combination is a hard cheese like Parmesan, a soft cheese like Brie, and a flavorful cheese like Gorgonzola.
- Be sure to toast the bread before adding the cheese and toppings. This will help the crostini to be crispy and flavorful.
- If you are using a soft cheese, spread it on the crostini just before serving. This will prevent the cheese from melting and becoming runny.
- Top the crostini with a variety of toppings, such as herbs, spices, nuts, and fruits. This will add flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve the crostini immediately after they are made. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.
