Tastings Caterers in Framingham serves up a trio of summer crostinis as a start to a formal dinner or as an appetizer at a cocktail party. Topping combinations include fresh tomato, basil, and smoked mozzarella; pineapple, creamy gorgonzola, and toasted honey walnuts; and wilted baby spinach with melted feta, caramelized onions, and five varieties of toasted nuts. For a gluten-free option, the toppings can be used to fill mushroom caps.
