Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 6 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 whole baguette
- 100 grams cream cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Slice the baguette into thin rounds, about 1 cm thick. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the baguette slices and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir occasionally, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and their juices release.
Turn off the heat and mash the tomato mixture gently with a fork. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and chopped basil leaves. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a spoonful of the garlicky tomato spread.
Garnish with a small basil leaf (optional) and serve immediately.
