Cheddar Bacon Garlic Crostini

December 20, 2017

   Need a last minute easy holiday appetizer idea? These Cheddar Bacon Garlic Crostini are so full of flavor and could not be any easier!

Cheddar Bacon Garlic Crostini is a take on one of my favorite dip recipes, turned into a bread based appetizer. Everyone loves my cheddar and bacon dip, but it is elevated into holiday worthy food once served on toasted garlic bread!

The easiest way to entertain during the holiday season is to have a list of go to appetizers that you know are delicious, but oh so easy to prepare. There are so many fun occasions for food and friends during the holidays, and my favorite way to serve a meal is with a lot of appetizers. (Check out my most popular appetizer recipe of all time here!!) It is casual and fun and allows for a lot of mingling and spending time with loved ones!

These Cheddar Bacon Garlic Crostinis are the perfect go to appetizer because you can make them ahead of time and assemble right before your guests arrive. No one wants to be attached to their stove as the guests arrive, and this easy appetizer recipe will definitely be a  crowd pleaser. Come on, who doesn’t love cheese, bacon, and bread?! It is truly the perfect combination of foods in appetizer form. Want to add a little crunch? Throw in some slivered almonds to the mix!

I love bread based appetizers because they are portable and easy for guests to munch on while mingling. You don’t even need a plate to eat these delicious crostinis! We love having our family over on New Year’s Eve and I always serve a bunch of different appetizers. I know that I will definitely be pulling out this easy recipe for the occasion this year!
