Strawberry Bruschetta with Mascarpone Cheese and Balsamic

Course Entree, Platter
Cuisine Modern Australian
Servings 4 serves

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices crusty baguette
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries 4-6 strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons good quality balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with foil and drizzle with the olive oil. Toast under the broiler on low until slightly golden and crisp.
  • While the bread is toasting, toss the strawberries with the sugar in a bowl to draw out the juices. They only need to macerate for about five minutes to get juicy enough.
  • Let the bread cool for a few minutes (so that the cheese doesn't melt when you spread it). Spread each piece of bread with a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese. Top with the strawberry slices, and then drizzle the strawberries with the balsamic vinegar.
