Strawberry Bruschetta

Strawberry Bruschetta is a favorite (and easy!) appetizer when strawberries are in season!

The fresh medley of strawberries, grape tomatoes, basil, and nectarine

over goat cheese, is a crowd pleaser!

 Since nectarines aren’t in season, I used a little diced canned peach.

I’ve made this recipe with and without the addition of the nectarine,

but I like the additional sweetness as well as the color it adds.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

1 nectarine, diced (I used peach)

1 cup quartered grape tomatoes

3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

1 shallot, minced (I used half a shallot)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 (12-oz.) French bread baguette

1 (10.5-oz.) goat cheese log, softened

Preparation

  Stir together strawberries, nectarine, grape tomatoes, basil*, minced shallot,

olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, freshly ground pepper, and salt.

* I added the basil on top of the prepared slices rather than mixing in with the ingredients.

Slice your baguette and toast in the oven until golden or use a panini press.

Slather the toasted side of bread with softened goat cheese and top with strawberry mixture.

Not a fan of goat cheese?

Substitute a soft spreadable cheese like Boursin or softened cream cheese.

It’s berrylicious with a drizzle

of Balsamic Glaze on top :)
