We once asked our friends, what's your favorite finger food to have with drinks at a party? So many of them said little toasts. (Who knew?) That's why we came up with this easy crostini recipe that's got sweet butternut squash, dried cranberries, and pomegranate. If that weren't delicious enough, we take that squash mixture and top it on toasts that have gooey, melty brie on them. Does that sound amazing or what? Serve these at your next party and you can guarantee that everyone will say those little toasts were their favorite of the night.

If you're one of the few people who inexplicably have leftover baguette, keep reading. You don't have to throw it out if it's stale. Slice them into rounds and store them in a resealable bag in the freezer. Then voila! You can turn them into fancy toasts like the ones in this recipe.

I made this for my wife and she loved it. It's a great appetizer to share with friends and family over drinks. Next time we host another get together, we will be making this again.
