Ooh la la! Let's do the can-can, have our canapés and eat them with wild high-kicking abandon! The full flavour and creamy texture of Boursin cheese makes an ideal ingredient for party nibbles. These bruschetta are quick and easy to prepare and hit the nibbles and aperitifs spot! High kicks and dancing are not compulsory, as you might spill your drink and drop your bruschetta!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 baguette, cut into 8 slices and toasted
1 garlic clove
extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons boursin garlic and cream cheese with herbs
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
fresh basil leaf (to garnish)
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1
Rub the garlic clove over the toasted baguette slices then drizzle over a little olive oil.
2
Spread each slice with the Boursin cheese, then cut the slices in half. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3
Place a cherry tomato onto each piece of Boursin toast then garnish with a little fresh basil.
4
Serve within an hour of preparing.
5
As an alternative to the tomatoes, top with olives, pieces of mixed peppers or artichokes in oil, drained and thinly sliced, with an extra twist of black pepper.

Really, what is not to love about good bread, yummy cheese, fresh tomatoes and garlic!?! I used the light version of boursin that is sold in the UK but other than that did everything exactly as suggested. I had these scrummy treats along with a hand full of sweet cherries for breakfast. I love the freshness of the whole dish. It screamed summer (well, it would if cheese could talk). bon appetit! Made for Chow Hounds on ZWT5.

Super yummy! To keep cals and cost down, I made with Make Your Own Boursin Cheese - Paula Deen. I served with FT's Méli-Mélo:a Muddle and Medley of Heirloom Tomatoes. I thought the combo was absolute perfection!
