1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped red or green onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (1/4 cup)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/4-inch slices
shredded Parmesan cheese

Blend parsley, basil, onion, garlic, and grated Parmesan in a food
processor. Add cream cheese and butter, blending thoroughly. Transfer
mixture to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

Just before serving, spread cheese mixture on French bread slices.
Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan. Broil 1 to 3 minutes, or until edges
