Ingredients

1 baguette or French bread, sliced

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.

  • Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

  • While the bread is toasting, combine the diced strawberries, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well to combine.

  • Once the bread is toasted, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

  • Spoon the strawberry-basil mixture onto the toasted bread slices.

  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added creaminess, spread goat cheese on the bread before adding the strawberry mixture.

  • Experiment with different herbs like mint, thyme, or cilantro for unique flavor twists.

  • If you prefer a sweeter topping, drizzle a small amount of honey over the strawberries before adding them to the bread.

  • For a smoky flavor, grill the bread instead of toasting it in the oven.
