Creamy Garlic Roasted Cherry Tomato Crostini:

Ingredients

• 1 french baguette, sliced in 3/4 inch slices
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 2 pints cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 (7 oz) package Arla Original Cream Cheese Spread

Steps

1. Heat broiler on oven. Arrange baguette slices on two large baking sheets in an even layer. Brush both sides with butter.
2. Place an oven rack about 4 inches away from the broiler.
3. Toast baguette slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes, depending on your oven. Flip crostini and toast the other side as well.
4. Let cool on baking sheets.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
6. In a large bowl, toss together cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
7. Transfer tomatoes to prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are completely softened and starting to wrinkle.
9. Generously spread Arla Cream Cheese Spread onto crostini. Top with warm tomatoes and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
