Bruschetta with Cream Cheese, Basil and Capers

appetizers, easy recipes, entertaining, from the garden

I would have taken a picture but this was getting eaten about as fast as  I could make it!  Hard to guess on quantities so take the following as guidelines rather than a rules.   For about 12 slices from a small baguette:

  • 4 – 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 -2 Tbs chopped fresh basil
  • 1 -2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1-2 Tbs capers chopped (or use some black olives)
  • 12 thin slices from a French bread baguette

Mix the cream cheese and the basil.

Mix together the tomatoes, onion and capers.

Lay the slices of bread out on a cookie sheet and broil until lightly toasted on one side. Flip the pieces over and spread the cream cheese over the untoasted slices. Put back under the broiler a minute until softened. Top each slice with a spoonful of the tomato mix.

Devour.
