As we approach the tail end of a great stone fruit season, I couldn\u2019t let these beautiful plums go unnoticed.  Quick bites have been a vital asset to my everyday life for the past couple of months. I bet that you could say the same! Today, I made a crostini with blue cheese, yellow tomatoes, mint, and plums. I love this dish because its quick, easy, and transports well in containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plums add a nice balance with the tomatoes because of the sweet and acidic ratio. It\u2019s also been spiced up with star anise and bay leaves to give the mixture a little pep in its step. I suggest that you pick your favorite blue cheese to symphonically bring the flavors together. If you're not a fan of blue cheese, goat cheese works also. We can\u2019t forget about the bread! This component gives the dish great texture. I recommend grilling the bread, you can toast it in the oven as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the dish was a hit! It was a beautifully balanced and recommended to cook for your friends. Enjoy!!
