Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 nectarine diced (or 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

Instructions

  • Stir together strawberries, nectarine, grape tomatoes, and minced shallot,
  • olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, freshly ground pepper, and salt.
  • Slice your baguette and toast in oven until golden or I like to use a panini press.
  • Slather the toasted side of bread with softened goat cheese and top with strawberry mixture.
  • Top with torn or cut basil.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Optional: Add a drizzle of Balsamic glaze on top of strawberry mixture.
  • Not a fan of goat cheese? Substitute a soft spreadable cheese like Boursin or softened cream cheese.
