This appealing appetizer takes classic bruschetta to new heights. Instead of olive oil, these savory treats are spread with reduced-fat cream cheese, then topped with tomato, green onion and ripe olives. Ingredients:
12 slices french bread (1/2 inch thick) |
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomato |
2 tablespoons chopped green onion |
1 tablespoon chopped ripe olives |
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese |
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 6-8 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomato, onion and olives; set aside.
2. Combine cream cheese and basil; spread over the untoasted side of bread. Broil 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown. Top with tomato mixture. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
