“Easy, delicious appetizer using spicy, capicola ham. Make sure you use fresh basil, as the flavors will not be the same if you use dried. These can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, but be sure to bring them up to room temperature before serving to blend the flavors.” - by jensenly

Ingredients

1 sourdough baguette
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
