For a change from the usual toasted tomato appetizer, try these baked bites. If you like, slice the baguette at an angle instead of making a straight cut.

Found this recipe at the beginning of December when I was looking to take something to a holiday party. Was easy to make and everyone loved it. I ended up making them for two more parties and everyone raved about them. Will definately keep this recipe as a favorite and use again.

It was very easy to make and my daughter said it was the hit of the meal. I didn't use the almonds but it was still very delicious.

This was great. I had people putting the spread on bread and loving it before it was even cooked.

Yummy! I didn't toast the baguette's the first time just put the topping on and warmed them in the oven for the 7-9 min. They turned out great..

I discovered this recipe last thanksgiving and have made it several times since. I served this with butternut squash soup. Huge hit! Also works to put in fridge for the next day, just toast and serve.
