Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Use a pastry brush to lightly butter both sides. Bake for 5 minutes then remove from the oven. You just want to toast them slightly, not turn them into croutons. ;)
  2. In a small bowl, combine 8 oz cream cheese, chopped green onion, chopped dill, 1 pressed clove of garlic and 1/8 tsp pepper. Use a fork to mash the herbs into the cream cheese. Spread a generous amount onto each crostini. It's ok to spread while the bread is still warm.
  3. Top with thinly sliced kielbasa and cucumber and add a few sprigs of dill and sliced onion for garnish.
