to someones house and you JUST.DON"T. have the time?
Here is a little something that could look a little 'fant-cee'
AND it's in season AND it's easy to prepare, travel with, assemble etc...
Strawberry basil crostinis. All you need is love... nope, that's a song not
the ingredients to this recipe. You will need a pint of strawberries,
a few basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, bread of your choice and either
goat cheese or even cream cheese if that's what floats your boat.
Slice your bread, line them up on a baking sheet to make them warm
and toasty (you don't have to) 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes if that.
While your bread slices are toasting... you can wash and cut
your strawberries into slices or dices (whichever you want to do)
Add a TBSP of balsamic vinegar and
1 teaspoon of sugar or honey (optional) Chiffonade (cut thin long strips)
your fresh basil leaves and add to your strawberries.
Take your toasted bread out of the oven and slather some
goat cheese onto your bread. Lastly use an ice cream scoop and
scoop a spoonful of your strawberry basil onto each piece of bread
that now has melted goat cheese.
(when I say melted- it's because the goat cheese was smeared
on when the bread was JUST taken out of the oven and still is warm)
Ta-Da! super easy right!?!
Even though it's super easy - your friends and family will be impressed!
