Ingredients

  • 1 pint strawberries, tops removed and sliced
  • 1 small ciabatta bread or baguette, sliced into 1/4 inch thick pieces
  • 4-5 oz goat cheese, brought to room temperature
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar See note below re: creating a glaze
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • Lay the sliced bread pieces on a sheet pan and spray the top of each slice with olive oil cooking spray (or you can drizzle with olive oil)
  • Broil in the oven until golden brown and lightly toasted (about 2-3 minutes)
  • Let cool slightly and before assembling
  • Spread goat cheese on each bread slice, top with sliced strawberries, drizzle with balsamic vinegar (or glaze if prefered) and garnish with chopped basil

Notes

If you want to create a thicker, balsamic glaze, you can heat your balsamic vinegar in a small pot on the stove over medium heat until it cooks down to a thick glaze.
