Strawberry Crostini
Crisp toasted baguette slices topped with creamy cheese, fresh strawberries, basil and a light balsamic drizzle.
Strawberry crostini is a fresh sweet-savory appetizer that layers crisp toasted baguette slices with creamy cheese, juicy strawberries and aromatic basil. A light balsamic drizzle adds tang and depth, making each bite balanced and vibrant. These crostini are ideal for brunches, parties or summer gatherings and are best assembled shortly before serving so the bread stays crisp. Use ripe but firm strawberries for the cleanest slices and freshest presentation.
