Ingredients

Thin slices of bread

Olive oil

Soft cheese (such as goat cheese, Boursin, ricotta)

Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil works best)

Capers

Small or sliced olives

Fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or chives)

Sea salt & pepper

Or mix and match based on what you have.

Instructions

Toast thin slices of bread and cut into bite-size squares or toast points. If you like, brush them with olive oil or rub with a clove of garlic while still warm, like in making  bruschetta.

Add a small dab of cheese to each toast. A seasoned cheese like Boursin is already creamy and flavorful. If using a plain or firmer cheese, you can whisk it to make it lighter and mix in herbs, garlic, or salt and pepper.

Top each piece with a strip of sun-dried tomato, then add a caper or slice of olive.

Finish with a small leaf of basil, parsley, or any herb you like. For an extra touch, drizzle a little of the sun-dried tomato oil or olive oil over the top and finish with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
