Step 1:

How do you make crostini with kiwi, garlic, and cheese? Very simply. First, gather the ingredients. For the base, you can choose a baguette, regular wheat bread, or rye bread. With a baguette these look more festive and pretty. As for which bread is better - wheat or rye - that's up to you. I like wheat bread more.
Step 2:

Grate the cheese on a medium grater.
Step 3:

Run the garlic through a press.
Step 4:

In a bowl, combine the grated cheese, mayonnaise, garlic run through a press, and ground black pepper.
Step 5:

Mix everything thoroughly. If the mixture seems short on mayonnaise, you can add more to taste.
Step 6:

Peel the kiwi and cut it into thin rounds. It's important to choose the right kiwi: they should be ripe but not overripe. Overripe fruit doesn't hold its shape well and falls apart when sliced. Plus the flavor of such fruit suffers. So choose firm fruit - not soft, but not too hard either, since those can be underripe and too sour.
Step 7:

Cut the baguette into slices about 1.5 cm thick. If you like, you can toast the bread in a toaster or a dry skillet until golden.
Step 8:

Spread a little of the cheese-and-garlic mixture on each baguette slice. Lay a slice of kiwi on top of each one.
Step 9:

Arrange the finished crostini on a platter and serve right away. Enjoy!

For holiday spreads, you can make these crostini ahead - for example, prepare the cheese filling the evening before and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Then before the meal, quickly slice the bread and kiwi and assemble the crostini.
Since everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, acidity, and spice is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself - it's tastier and better for you. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like - this will cut the dish's calories.
