Cranberry Cream Cheese Bruschetta
Crostini are pretty much my favorite appetizer. From this Caramelized Onion & Cheddar Crostinis with Prosciutto Wrapped Apples to Cheesy Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Crostini, they are just such an elegant way to serve up an hors d’oeuvre. Crostini in Italian means “little crusts”, so it is basically a crusty piece of bread topped with whatever your heart desires. Bruschetta basically has the same meaning from what I understand, a grilled piece of bread topped with good stuff. Either way you slice it, these little cranberry cream cheese bites are mind blowing!
I have to admit, as I was assembling them, I thought they looked pretty and all, but wasn’t 100% sure my idea would pan out in the taste department. Boy oh boy was I wrong to doubt these! I may or may not have devoured the entire platter of these as a dinner… Low carb diet say what?!
Oh well, the combination of whipped cream cheese with this slightly spicy cranberry salsa infused with orange and lime flavor all on top of a piece of french bread that was crusty on the outside and still chewy on the inside was AMAZING! Ok, that was a mouthful, but just trust me and take the plunge. Make a platter of these for your holiday get-together and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
More great appetizers!
