Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • every component (EXCEPT the freshly grilled bread) can be made in advance. The cheese will harden in the fridge so remove about 5-10 minutes prior to serving
  • if making crostini to serve as a canape you can make them in advance and store in an airtight container making this a simple dinner party snack to serve!
  • the beet hummus will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge
