Crostini with Mango and Vanilla-Ginger Mascarpone

• 1 mango - peeled, seeded, diced
• 20 French bread slices - sliced 1/3” thick
• 1/2 cup melted butter – 1 stick
• 1/2 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay slices of bread out on cookie sheet. Brush both sides with the melted butter. Sprinkle the top of each bread slice with the sugar. Bake for about 8 minutes until light golden, slightly crisp.

• 1 cup mascarpone or cream cheese - soften to room temperature
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract or 1 tsp vanilla bean powder

To assemble the crostinis, spread or pipe the cheese mixture onto the baked crostinis. Top with a spoonful of the mango. Place on serving plate and enjoy!
