Grocery List
  • -Amounts will vary-
  • Baguette, Nisu bread, or tiny toasts
  • Cherry, Raspberry, or seedless blackberry jam
  • Juice from a jar of pickled jalapeños
  • Cream cheese
  • Sliced almonds
Here's how...
  1. If you choose to use a baguette or Nisu bread, slice it into ¼" rounds and lay them on a baking sheet (foil-lined means less clean up!), drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
  2. Bake them in a preheated 400 degree oven on the bottom shelf for 6-8 minutes (it will take different lengths of time for different types of toast. Just watch them until they are golden and crispy.
  3. Start with ¼ cup or so of jam and drizzle in ½-1 tsp. of jalapeño juice from a jar of pickled jalapeños, stir it in well and give it a little taste to check the spice level.
  4. Just before serving time, take those crunchy little toasts and schmear them with a little cream cheese and then top them with enough jam to make you happy.
  5. Lay some sliced almonds on top.
  6. Serve immediately.
