Recipe Introduction


If you've got cream cheese on hand, you can use it instead of goat cheese. The goat cheese will be slightly tangier, but because of the tomato, garlic and olive, the flavor's great either way.


List of Ingredients




5 to 6 oz. mild, creamy goat cheese or cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced $
3 tablespoons olive oil $
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 loaf (about 8 oz.) Italian bread
2 cloves garlic, halved


Recipe



Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, stir together goat cheese, 1 Tbsp. parsley and pepper until thoroughly combined. In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, 2 tsp. olive oil, salt and 1 1/2 tsp. parsley.

Slice off and discard ends of bread. Slice loaf diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Rub 1 side of each toast slice with cut side of garlic. Brush with remaining olive oil.

Just before serving, spread toast slices with cheese mixture and top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 tsp. parsley on top.
