Summer is always kind of hectic for most of us and there’s nothing more special than an easy-peasy snack/appetizers that are packed with flavors and no-cook kind.

So for our recent summer get-together, we created the Tomato Mushroom Crostini using the new NatureSweet Eclipses Tomatoes !!

Tomato Mushroom Crostini

Before, you scroll down for the quick recipe, lets first talk about these New NatureSweet Eclipses Tomatoes that I found in our local grocery store (Find NatureSweet Eclipses near you).

Eclipses are a new variety of tomatoes with this gorgeous deep sun-kissed color that literally draws you the very first time you see it.

They are Non-GMO and EFI certified (Equitable Food Initiative – most rigorous industry standard)

We were so mesmerized by its color and taste, that we literally ate almost half of the box (thankfully I bought 2 boxes for our recipe).

Process to Make the Tomato Mushroom Crostini:

The deep color here indicates its rich taste and they are best served sliced.

The Eclipses tomatoes are picked at the peak of freshness and are available year-round

So after our little tomato tasting party of two (me + Mr), we finally prepped all the ingredients for our Quick Tomato Mushroom Crostini.

We lightly sauteed the mushrooms in Italian seasoning for maximum taste and lightly tossed the freshly sliced Eclipses tomatoes in olive oil + mint mix.

Once everyone started to arrive, I quickly pan toasted the sliced crostini with some butter + garlic salt (yep, quick, tried and tested a 100 times).

Crostini Ingredients on the plate

Once the crostini is all toasted and ready, you just need to slather is with any kind of spread and I’m using ricotta cheese.

Assembling our crostini is super easy and fun as you can add the topping ingredients as per your choice ….

you can do more of tomatoes (which I totally recommend using these NatureSweet Eclipses tomatoes) or you can add more sauteed mushrooms.

Finally, my Quick Tomato Mushroom Crostini are ready and it took me just 10 minutes to create this flavorful appetizer.

I’d be serving it with some chilled iced tea but you can serve it with any kind of beverage or other appetizers.

They make a great snack too.

Go ahead and enjoy these little bite-size appetizers with your friends/family and enjoy all year round.

Tomatoes come in an exciting variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Knowing those differences can help you choose the perfect tomato for every recipe.
