1tspsweet basilchopped as finely as possible
Salt and pepper to taste
1baguette
2 to 4small tomatoessliced thinly (you can substitute cherry tomatoes if you like)
Instructions
Preheat the grill to a low heat.
Slice baguette thinly.
Chop the garlic scapes and basil by hand, or use a food processor.
Toss the cream cheese in a mixer or food processor, toss in garlic scapes and basil, pulse first, then mix until combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over top of the bread slices. Place each one on a rimmed cookie sheet. You could also use a pizza or grilling stone for this recipe
Top with tomatoes.
Place the cookie sheet on the grill, place the lid down and allow to cook for about 2 to 4 minutes. You just want to toast the bread, and slightly melt the cheese.
Alternately you could grill the bread first then top after. Personally I like the cheese a bit melted.
