Do I need to peel the peaches?
Not at all—just wash and slice them thinly. The skin adds nice texture.
Is hot honey spicy?
It’s mildly spicy with a touch of sweetness. You can use regular honey if you prefer.
Can I grill the peaches instead?
Absolutely. Lightly grilled peach slices add a smoky depth to this crostini.
