Creamy Loaded Bits O' Bread
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 tablespoons of finely minced onions
- 18 teaspoon minced garlic
- 5 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Miracle Whip light
- 1 teaspoon chipotle pineapple-peach salsa (Sam's choice from Walmart)
- 18 teaspoon horseradish sauce
- 18 teaspoon crushed parsley flakes
- 5 cherry tomatoes, sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 slices buttered French bread, 1/2-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for basting bread)
- In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, melt the 1 tsp of butter.
- Add minced onion and saute' until clear, about 2 minutes.
- Turn heat down just a tad and add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Meanwhile, mix together cream cheese, miracle whip, salsa & horseradish sauce.
- Stir together very well.
- Add onion and garlic mixture to cream cheese mixture and mix well.
- Set aside.
- Turn the broiler on in your oven to get oven heated.
- If your 3 slices of 1/2" french bread are not already buttered, then butter them with the 1 TB melted butter.
- I use a baster for this.
- Cut the bread slices in quarters by cutting an 'X' through each one.
- This will make 12 small pieces of bread with some pieces being more oblong than others.
- They are basically one or two bites each now.
- Using a bread knife or small spreader, spread a generous amount of cream cheese mixture over each small slice making a fairly level surface.
- It doesn't have to be perfect.
- Sprinkle each slice with crushed parsley flakes.
- Then, top with cherry tomato slices.
- I used 3 for each bigger piece and 1 or 2 for each small one.
- Finally, top each piece with a few shredded pieces of cheddar cheese.
- You want to be able to see the toppings on the bread, so don't bury it.
- Broil about 4-5 inches from heat for approx 2 minutes or until cheese is nice and melted.
- Broil about 2-3 inches away from heat on low until cheese is a little browned about 30 seconds.
- Serve hot, but they are good at room temperature too.
