Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore traditional bruschetta but sometimes I want something different. I made this for a party a while back and it could very well become my new, easy, go-to recipe for parties. I think this took me all of 20 minutes to whip up.

Strawberry-Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Ingredients:

    1  8-oz.  baguette

    1  Tbsp.  olive oil

    1  4-oz. log  goat cheese (chevre)

    1-1/2  cups  sliced strawberries

    1/2  cup  arugula

    Olive oil

    Sea salt or coarse salt

    Freshly ground black pepper

    Snipped fresh herbs

Directions:

1. Heat broiler. Halve baguette crosswise, then lengthwise. Place cut sides up on large baking sheet. Brush with the 1 tablespoon oil. Broil, 3 to 4 inches from heat, for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until lightly toasted.

2. Slice and divide cheese among toasts. Top with sliced berries. Broil 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese and berries soften. Remove from broiler; top with arugula. Drizzle additional oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and herbs. Makes 4 servings.
