Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans
4 slices bread, crusty, firm-textured, cut about 3/4-inch thick
2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1 large tomatoes, sliced about 1/8-inch thick
fresh ground pepper
chopped fresh basil (to garnish) or dried basil (to garnish)

Steps:

In a small bowl, mash the cheeses together with a fork, leaving the mixture somewhat chunky.
Mix in the pecans.
Preheat the broiler.
Arrange the bread on a small baking sheet and broil the slices for about a minute on each side, just until golden.
Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
Rub one side of each piece of bread with garlic.
Spread some of the cheese mixture over each slice and arrange 2 or 3 overlapping tomato slices on top.
Pepper the tomatoes lightly, then garnish with basil and serve.
