This is a quick and easy little appetizer for any holiday party you have coming up this year. Mix cream cheese with feta, spread on crostini and top with your favorite toppings. I chose halved grape tomatoes and kalamata olives. Use your imagination and enjoy!
Double Cheese Bruschetta (adapted from bettycrocker.com)
1 baguette, sliced in 1/2" thick slices (you will only need about 1/2 of a large loaf)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 oz. crumbled feta cheese
6 oz. whipped cream cheese, softened
16 halved kalamata olives
8 halved grape or cherry tomatoes
Preheat the oven to 400. Place the baguette slices on a foil lined baking sheet (for easier clean up) and drizzle with olive oil. Season the baguette slices with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and bake about 10-12 minutes until the bread is crispy and golden brown. Allow to cool. This can be done up to a day in advance.
In a small bowl mix the feta cheese and the cream cheese with a spoon (this step, too can be done in advance). Spread 1 T. on a cooled baguette slice and top with olives and cherry tomatoes.
Makes about 16 pieces (85 calories each) according to my calculator on loseit.com
