Crostini are a lot like bruschetta -- little slices of Italian or French bread that are toasted and topped with anything from cheeses to vegetables to meats.
The mixture of savory and sweet makes this cream cheese crostini recipe a favorite among kids.
Look for caramelized onion jam or sweet onion jam in the jelly section of your supermarket. You can use regular cream cheese for this crostini recipe, but I like the whipped cream cheese, because it is easier to spread.
