Pesto and Prosciutto Crostini

So who's guilty of going grocery shopping with a list but ended up not sticking to it? ME!!! I only had 3 things on my grocery list and would have spent $7...buuuut as soon as I walked in to the store I saw samples galore. I started tasting everything as I was walking through the aisles and was very good about not buying everything I tasted. Then I came across the crostini...I walked away after taking one sample thinking I wouldn't be tempted to buy all the ingredients to make this appetizer. Oh, how wrong I was. I kept thinking about how good the crostini was and ended up going back to the sample lady to get the recipe and grab the ingredients. These little two bite appetizers are seriously SO GOOD!! All it takes is 5 ingredients and a couple minutes of baking in the oven and you'll have a super tasty crostini. Dr. Sweetpea absolutely LOVED these appetizers too!
