These Pea Puree Crostini are a light, flavorful appetizer that feels both elegant and effortless, making them a perfect choice for your Easter party, or any spring get together.
This bright green spread is packed with sweet peas, fresh mint, and a touch of olive oil, making it a refreshing contrast to crispy toasted bread. Whether you’re hosting a spring brunch, a cocktail party, or just want a quick snack with gourmet flair, these crostini deliver fresh flavor in every bite.
Helpful Tips
- Use High-Quality Bread – A fresh, crusty baguette gives the best crunch. Toasting it properly ensures it holds up to the purée without getting soggy.
- Blend Until Smooth but Textured – For the best consistency, pulse the ingredients instead of fully puréeing them. A little texture adds interest and keeps it from being too pasty.
- Add a Topping for Extra Flavor – While delicious on its own, adding crumbled feta, ricotta, or crispy prosciutto enhances both texture and taste.

Pea Purée Crostini: Fresh & Vibrant Appetizer
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2-3 sprigs fresh mint
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Olive oil for drizzling
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1/2 baguette cut into 1/2″ slices
- Red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the broth in a pot over medium heat. Once boiling, add the peas and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the peas in a fine mesh sieve, reserving a tablespoon of the cooking liquid. Place the peas in a mini chopper or food processor. Add a few mint leaves and salt. Puree until smooth. If you need to, add a little bit of cooking liquid, just enough to make the puree smooth.
- Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees F, or in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes. Drizzle the crostini with olive oil.
- Top each crostini with pea puree. Top each with a small roll of prosciutto, a mint leaf, and red pepper flakes.
