Description

Delicious strawberry bruschetta made with charred Italian bread topped with creamy goat cheese and a mixture of strawberries and balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
12 slices Italian bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound strawberries, washed and diced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
1 cup goat cheese, room temperature
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

1 Heat vinegar in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Simmer until reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
2 Prepare a grill for high heat. Place bread slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
3 Combine strawberries and thyme in a small bowl and set aside.
4 Grill bread on the preheated grill until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
5 Spread goat cheese on toasted bread. Add black pepper, salt, and reduced vinegar to the strawberry mixture. Spoon over the goat cheese topped bruschetta. Garnish with additional thyme.
