PEACH MUSHROOM CROSTINI
When we were first brainstorming this recipe, we had no idea if mushrooms and peaches would be a match made in heaven or a total flop...luckily for us the two make a great pair! This little appetizer will be the talk of any summer get together, and the people who are brave enough to try this unlikely union will be pleasantly surprised by how well the flavors compliment each other. Mark our words!
