- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Italian Herb Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:
Pretty easy to assemble!
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and blend gently. Spread cream cheese on toasted bread then add tomato topping and toast in oven until slightly warmed sprinkle with torn fresh basil and serve!
A simple recipe to “whip up” as an appetizer for entertaining. The tomato notes of the EVOO enhance the fresh flavours of the tomato topping. Instead of crostinis, this would also work great as an addtion to a wrap or pita for a picnic lunch.
