Servings: 4 servings
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
- ΒΌ 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.
