Bruschetta is the perfect appetizer, lunch or snack. Pile fresh fruits and vegetables on top of crusty bread with a few other simple flavors. When strawberries are in season, we love creating an easy bruschetta with freshly chopped strawberries, balsamic, goat cheese and basil.

How to make Strawberry Bruschetta

1. Mix together strawberries and sugar. You can omit the sugar, if desired or use honey.
2. Assemble the bruschetta by spreading soft goat cheese over slices of French baguette. Top with the strawberry mixture and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with freshly sliced basil leaves.

Prep ahead

This recipe is best when served immediately. You can prep the strawberry mixture in advance and assemble just prior to serving. The recipe requires only 10 minutes of prep time with the additional 30 minutes of rest time for the berries.

Substitutions

• You can use honey instead of the sugar. Or omit the sugar completely, if desired.
• Use cream cheese, brie, ricotta or mascarpone instead of the goat cheese, if desired.
• Other fruit: Experiment with other flavors by using blueberries, cherries, peaches or mango.
