- 1 loaf Baguette
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 10 thin rounds, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Place the bread slices on a baking tray and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Toast the bread slices in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
While the bread is toasting, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and lightly season them with salt and pepper.
Peel and gently rub the garlic clove on the warm bread slices for a hint of garlic flavor.
Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese on each toasted bread slice.
Place a basil leaf on top of the cream cheese on each canapé.
Finish each canapé by placing a seasoned cherry tomato half on top of the basil.
Arrange the tomato canapés on a serving platter and drizzle them lightly with olive oil before serving. Enjoy!
