Ingredients

Ingredients

1 french baguette, sliced in 3/4 inch slices
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
2 pints cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 (7 oz) package Arla Original Cream Cheese Spread
1 bunch fresh basil, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Instructions

    Step 1

    Heat broiler on oven. Arrange baguette slices on two large baking sheets in an even layer. Brush both sides with butter.

    Step 2

    Place an oven rack about 4 inches away from the broiler.

    Step 3

    Toast baguette slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes, depending on your oven. Flip crostini and toast the other side as well.

    Step 4

    Let cool on baking sheets.

    Step 5

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

    Step 6

    In a large bowl, toss together cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

    Step 7

    Transfer tomatoes to prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.

    Step 8

    Bake for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are completely softened and starting to wrinkle.

    Step 9

    Generously spread Arla Cream Cheese Spread onto crostini. Top with warm tomatoes and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
