How To Make Strawberry Bruschettas

Bruschetta is one of my favorite appetizers to serve at parties, and I've tried several different recipes, and this one is one of my favorites and a favorite amongst our friends!

It is best served warm, with fresh herbs like basil on top.

Here's how to make it at home, very easy!

Toast the bread in two ways:

Grill or grill pan: Brush lightly with oil and grill until golden brown and toasted. Be careful and keep an eye on them as they can easily burn.

Oven: Set oven to broil setting. On an ungreased cookie sheet, place bread slices. Lightly brush each bread with vegetable oil or melted butter. Broil for 1-2 minutes until light golden brown and crusty.

To assemble bruschettas spread cream cheese onto each baguette slice. Top each one with a couple of teaspoons of Strawberry salsa, season with salt & pepper, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Serve and enjoy!

Tips

Cream cheese - another delicious alternative would be either ricotta or cream cheese mixed with some extra flavor like garlic oil or similar. For a sweeter bruschetta taste use Mascarpone & you can also sprinkle some brown sugar on top or honey instead of balsamic vinegar.
Or add goat cheese slices instead of cream cheese - delicious!
Instead of Balsamic glaze, you can also add a little drizzle of Strawberry Vinaigrette or simply honey.

Bruschetta Topping Ideas

Seafood - smoked salmon, dill, and sliced lemon on top of cream cheese spread. Shrimp cocktail or grilled shrimp on top of guacamole or simply avocado spread.
Mediterranean - tomato, onion, and basil diced finely, seasoned with salt, and pepper, and mixed with olive oil. Over cream cheese spread or without.
Classic Italian flavors - sundried tomatoes with mozzarella slices and fresh basil; cherry or plum tomatoes with olives or olive tapenade. Tip: Sprinkle with a tiny amount of crushed chili flakes on top.
Top with any type of cured ham and meats.
Roasted garlic spread with a little sprig of thyme on top. Easy and delicious.
Try different types of pestos as a spread. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese on top and cracked black pepper.
Mango Habanero Salsa or Fresh Tomato Salsa.
