Let’s get started on this lemon fruit appetizer
Fire up your oven’s broiler, slice the baguette into ½-inch round pieces, and brush tops with olive oil. Place each piece (oil-brushed side up) on a cookie sheet and broil until the tops are slightly brown. Remove the sliced baguettes from the oven and allow a few minutes to cool.
Make the lemon cream spread
In a mixing bowl, cream together lemon juice, lemon zest, cream cheese, and water. Stir until nice and smooth, and all ingredients are combined. Spread this lovely lemon cream cheese spread on top of each baguette, then top with a spoonful of fruit, drizzle with honey, and finally, top with basil. OMG. This lemon appetizer is really, really good!
