Warm Cherry Tomato Crostini

 
English muffins, topped with cheese, cherry tomatoes and grilled in a toaster oven for a delicious appetizer. Quick and easy!

I used soy jalapeno cheese but you feel free to replace it with your favourite cheese. Basil  gives a  burst of flavour to this crostini. Nothing like fresh herbs, right ?!  I even decided to grow a small pot of basil by my kitchen  window just for things like this… Hopefully it will survive through the winter.
Well, hope you will enjoy this recipe and when you do, drop me a line and tell me about it. I appreciate your feedback.  

Enjoy!
