Tomato and Fresh Basil Crostini with Feta and Roasted Garlic Cheese Spread

This is a delightful appetizer that is easy to make and tastes so delicious. I used both a feta and roasted garlic cheese spread on half and a goat cheese and roasted garlic cheese spread on the other half. We love them both! The sliced tomatoes and fresh basil make this appetizer (or healthy snack) so light and tasty.
