Description
Easy, simple and delicious strawberry basil crostini. Fresh strawberries, savory goat cheese and fresh basil, drizzled with balsamic reduction.
Ingredients
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon Honey
A fresh baguette4 oz herb and garlic goat cheese, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
12 strawberries, thinly sliced
Instructions
Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened. Allow to cool completely.
Combine the goat cheese and cream cheese in a medium bowl with a spatula. Slice the baguette, and toast in the oven at 350 for about 5 minutes if you’d like the bread to be toasty, but keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Spread each piece of bread with a generous amount of the cheese, and top with the sliced strawberries and basil. Drizzle the balsamic blaze over each piece just before serving.
Notes
Balsamic reduction can be made ahead of time, and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few months!
