Italian Herb Tomato Crostinis with Whipped Cream Cheese
Ingredients:
200g feta, crumbled
1/3 cup cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided (plus extra for crostinis)
2 tbsps lemon juice, freshly squeezed
900g cherry/grape tomatoes, assorted varieties
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp Italian Herb Balsamic Vinegar
3 tbsps fresh basil, slivered (plus extra for serving)
2 baguettes, sliced diagonally (1/2” thickness)
2 tbsps toasted pine nuts (optional)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Directions
Pretty easy to assemble!
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and blend gently. Spread cream cheese on toasted bread then add tomato topping and toast in oven until slightly warmed sprinkle with torn fresh basil and serve!
A simple recipe to “whip up” as an appetizer for entertaining. The tomato notes of the EVOO enhance the fresh flavours of the tomato topping. Instead of crostinis, this would also work great as an addtion to a wrap or pita for a picnic lunch.
