Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rustic bread slices
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each slice with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them in a bowl.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with cherry tomatoes. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
Once the bread slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spread an even layer of cream cheese onto each piece of toasted bread using a butter knife or spatula.
Top the cream cheese layer with the seasoned cherry tomatoes, distributing them evenly across each slice.
Garnish each slice with fresh basil leaves. Tear the basil into smaller pieces if necessary.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top of each slice for added flavor.
Serve immediately as an open-faced sandwich or cut into smaller pieces for appetizers.
