SPREAD:
1 1/4 c cottage cheese (low fat ok to use)
1 1/4 c blue cheese, crumbled (about 5 ounces)
1 large clove garlic
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 green onions, with tops, finely chopped
1/4 c finely chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp slivered toasted almonds
BREAD:
2 french bread baguettes, sliced into 16 pieces each
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
