2. Finely chop tomatoes. Stir in olives and garlic. Set aside. Beat cream cheese in a small mixing bowl until softened. Beat in feta and milk until smooth.

3. Spread feta mixture on oiled side of crostini. Top with a small dollop of tomato mixture. Garnish crostini with shredded basil. Makes 40 appetizers.
