Make Ahead

Both the spread and crostini can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. Store spread in airtight container in refrigerator. Place crostini in separate airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature.

Substitute

Fresh peas can be used instead of the frozen peas. Add to boiling water; cook 2 min. Drain. Immediately add peas to large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process; drain again, then use as directed.
