Cheese Crustini

We had these for my sister wedding reception. They were quite good. Makes about 100.

Baguette Bread--1 sliced thin
Cream cheese--1 lb. 9 oz.
Jack cheese--5 oz.
Swiss cheese--5 oz.
Asiago or parmesan--5 oz.
Mozzarella Cheese--5 oz.
Cream or half & half--1/4 cup
Mixed herbs--any type you prefer. I usually use some sort of Italian herbs

Spray the bread slices with a flavored pan spray, such as garlic or olive oil. Toast in oven at 400 for about 3 minutes. They should only be dried a bit, not browned.
Beat cream cheese in mixer until soft. Add remaining cheese (all shredded). Mix well. This with cream. Add herbs to taste. Remember that the flavor will become stronger as it sits. I sometimes add hot sauce to the mix.
