These crostini are wrapped in bacon for more than just aesthetics. As they bake, the bacon drips directly onto the bread, crisping the slices, making them golden, crisp, and delicious. They pair wonderfully with a delicate topping of spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, and mayonnaise. Serve these crostini warm at a party, and you'll be sure to see them disappear.
