Strawberry Bruschetta

Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 12-14 baguette slices
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 pound strawberries, washed and diced
  • 1 pound plum tomatoes (or peaches), seeded and diced
  • 1 cup scallions, green and white parts diced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 handful fresh basil, chopped or torn, additional for topping
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey, optional
  • 1 cup goat cheese or feta to crumble, optional for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place bread on the tray.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder and Italian herbs.
  4. Bake for about 8-10 minutes and flip the bread over halfway through the cooking time.
  5. Remove the bread and set aside.
  6. Combine the fruit, scallions, balsamic vinegar and basil into a bowl.
  7. Season with salt and pepper and gently fold to combine everything together.
  8. Taste, and if it's too tart, add a tablespoon of honey.
  9. Fold it again and scoop onto toasted bread and some of the liquid from the mixture.
  10. Add the cheese (if using) and additional torn fresh basil, if desired.

Tip: Prepare some Strawberry Bruschetta ahead of time (leaving the bread separate), because this makes a great side salad to a piece of grilled fish or chicken in a pinch.
