Expert Tips

You just need a dab of cream cheese mixture atop each toast fo flavor. Garlic-and-herb cream cheese spread is soft cream cheese found near the regular cream cheese in the grocery store.

To make ahead, toast bread, and cool completely before storing in an airtight food-storage plastic bag. Just before serving, spread crostini with cream cheese mixture, and broil.

This is a great snack but it is also great for a fast healthy lunch. I have added cooked grilled chicken cut into pieces and added to the mixture and then went ahead and broiled it-so good. For a lunch idea-have 2 and a side salad and iced tea-yummy!!! This recipe is fast and easy.
