Strawberry Mascarpone Mint Honey Crostini
Strawberry season is happening folks! Strawberries in the late spring are scrumptious! California grows them and we eat them by the pint daily during spring until mid-July. They harvest them for several months, but the flavor is over the top when the weather warms up.’

California Strawberries Yum!
Strawberries as a standalone are amazing and in a salad, they really are the stars. I wanted to make a recipe that used local honey. So many articles mention that honey helps with allergies and other good things. Plus! It tastes so good and even better drizzled on some soft cheese or a cup of steaming oatmeal.
Lordy, once I put together this amazing Strawberry Mascarpone Mint Honey Crostini recipe I had to GROUND myself from the kitchen. They are that good y‘all.
How to Make Strawberry Mascarpone Honey Crostini
Make strawberry crostini by first preheating your oven to 350º.
Slice baguette
crosswise about a half-inch in deep. If you are using a very large French loaf, cut the pieces in halves.
