I'm a huge fan of entertaining, be it a simple weeknight dinner for four or a Saturday night feast for 15. And while I'm relatively content with my rotation of side salads and main dishes, one course always leaves me stumped: appetizers

There's such a fine line between providing just enough of a taste to tempt guests' palates and filling them beyond capacity before the main course even makes its entrance. Enter the crostini, a classic appetizer option with endless topping possibilities

Our friends over at Bon Appétit are serving up a quick and easy crostini topper in the form of a white bean tapenade made with fresh lemon and chile. And our Epicurious Community Table members are joining the crostini craze with summery Roasted Tomato and Garlic Crostini, simple Feta Crostini, and hearty Lamb Bruschetta with Cherry Glaze.
The sliced bread for crostini can be broiled in an oven or toasted atop a grill for added smoky flavor. Remember to consider the texture of your toppings, piling on your choice of creamy cheeses, crisp veggies, or assorted sliced meats. Also consider a mix of sweet and salty tastes, such as the classic combination of fresh ricotta and a drizzle of honey
