Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette (12 inches)
- 1 cup chocolate spread
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and slice bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast the baguette slices: Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread slices for 5 to 7 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Spread chocolate: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and while still warm, spread a generous layer of chocolate spread over each slice.
- Add strawberries: Top each slice with a heap of freshly sliced strawberries for a fresh and fruity contrast.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the strawberry-topped toasts to add a tangy sweetness that complements the chocolate.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, garnish the bruschetta with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic accent and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture.
Notes
- Use a good quality chocolate spread for the best flavor.
- Fresh, ripe strawberries will enhance the taste and presentation.
- You can substitute balsamic glaze with a reduction of balsamic vinegar if desired.
- Serve immediately after assembly to keep the bread crisp.
- For a vegan option, choose a dairy-free chocolate spread and vegan baguette.
