Pumpkin Pear & Brie Crostini

Crostini is my go-to appetizer for a party. It is so easy to make and very versatile, and guests always love them. Crostini make the perfect finger food. Brie is one of my favorite cheeses to use. I believe if pumpkin could choose its favorite cheese, it would be Brie as well. Something about pumpkin and Brie together is just flavor magic. Pear adds that needed pop of sweetness to take this appetizer to the top.
