Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whipped cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp 2% milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup smoked almonds chopped
- 1/2 cup soft sun-dried tomato halves not packed in oil, chopped
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1 french bread baguette 10-1/2 ounces, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- fresh chives (optional) chopped
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the cheese mixture.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and milk. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-combined. Add the assorted cheeses, smoked almonds, diced tomato, and a pinch of pepper to the bowl. Stir the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
- Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each slice of bread. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed across the surface of the bread.
- Place the prepared toast on ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each slice.
- Transfer the baking sheets to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and turned a golden color.
- (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the baked toast for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve the smoked-almond cheese toasts warm, straight from the oven, and enjoy your sophisticated appetizer creation!
