This is one of my favorite snacks for after work with some hot tea, coffee, or wine.

Quick Snack

4 pieces of Italian bread for toasting
½ C Shredded mozzarella
3 Oz Softened cream cheese
6-8 Grape tomatoes sliced (about 1-2 per slice of toast you are making)
¼ C Sliced portabella mushrooms (optional)( Onion pieces or another veggie) may be substituted
8 pieces of softly shredded baby spinach
4-8 pieces of shredded fresh basil (about 1-2 leaves per slice depending on the size of the leaves)
Garlic

I use a toaster oven for this, but the same technique can be done in an oven.
1) Spread a light coating of cream cheese on the top of each slice of bread
2) Lightly coat the bread with garlic powder
3) Arrange the veggies on top of the cream cheese
4) Cover with mozzarella
5) Toast for about 10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
6) Slice into wedges. Serve hot.
