Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • Dice the peaches and make sure to be careful of the peach pit and the stem.
  • Make sure to spread the peaches into a thin layer on the baking sheet so they cook evenly
  • To store: These are kept in the refrigerator well for up to 2 days. If you serve each section separately, you can store the peaches and cream cheese in the fridge and the crostini in a Ziploc bag on the counter.
