Ingredients

1 cup strawberries diced
2 teaspoon sugar
1 French baguette sliced
4 ounces goat cheese softened
1 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
¼ cup sliced basil leaves
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Stir together strawberries and sugar in a small bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until juicy.
Toast baguette slices until lightly golden and crisp.
Spread softened goat cheese over each slice. Top with spoonfuls of the strawberry mixture.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with basil and cracked black pepper.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the strawberries sit. This helps develop flavor and release their natural juices.
Use softened goat cheese. It spreads easily and gives a smooth, even layer.
Assemble just before serving. This keeps the bread crisp and the texture balanced.
Adjust sweetness as needed. Taste your strawberries and add more or less sugar depending on their ripeness.
