This recipe for Grilled Crostini with Garlic Scape Cream Cheese and Tomatoes is a super quick and easy appetizer recipe. Crostini are Italian canapés made from toasted or grilled discs of bread, piled high with different toppings including cheese, meat, and vegetables. I love to make my crostini with subtly flavored garlic cream cheese, topped with a thin tomato slice, lightly grilled.
To make the garlic scape cream cheese, I place cream cheese or ricotta in a food processor with garlic capes, basil, salt and pepper. Once these ingredients are combined, I spread the cheese on thinly sliced baguette which I top with a slice of tomato – I use small ripe tomatoes, but you could use cherry tomatoes if you prefer. I finish these crostini on the grill and serve!
To make Grilled Crostini with Garlic Scape Cream Cheese and Tomatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the grill to a low heat.
Cut the baguette into thin slices.
Place the garlic scapes and basil in a food processor and pulse to chop finely.
Add the cheese to the garlic scapes and basil in the food processor. Pulse to mix until fully combined.
Spread a layer of cream cheese over each bread slice and place each one on a baking sheet. Top the cheese with a slice of tomato.
Place the baking sheet on the grill and cook for 2-4 minutes until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese has just started to melt.
Serve immediately on a large platter.
