Delightful bruschetta topped with creamy herb-infused cream cheese and tangy cranberry pepper jelly, perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cranberry pepper jelly
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: additional chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
  3. Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  5. Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  6. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each toasted baguette slice.
  7. Top each slice with a spoonful of cranberry pepper jelly, allowing it to drizzle over the sides for a festive touch.
  8. Garnish with additional chopped chives if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra zest, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest to the cream cheese mixture. Serve the jelly on the side to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
