Instructions

If using a baguette, cut it into thin slices, about ½ inch thick. Toast lightly in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden. If using crackers, no need to toast.

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading. Microwave in 10-second intervals if needed.

Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each piece of bread or cracker.

Top each spread with a teaspoon of pepper jelly.

Garnish with chili flakes or sliced fresh jalapeño and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve on a platter.
