These little cups are so easy to make, but it looks like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen. I find that when I serve them I can't keep up with the demand. They are eaten up so fast and everyone wants more.—Carolyn Borougerdi, Irving, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 12 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
