CHEESY BRUSCHETTA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place mini fillo shells in and bake for about 5 minutes.
• Chop tomatoes up, place in a bowl and add basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste- stir together and set aside.
• Grab a plastic baggie and a cup or a bowl. Fit the baggie in to the cup so that you can scoop the garlic and herb cheese into it. Fold up like you would a pastry bag and cut the tip off. This makes it easy and quick to get the cheese into shells.
• Evenly pipe a small amount of cheese into each shell.
• Top cheese with a small scoop of bruschetta. Garnish with fresh basil.
• Optional, but delicious if you have the time: Place Cheesy Bruschetta Bites back into a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes just before serving.
