Goat Cheese, Strawberry and Arugula Bruschetta

Serves 6

Ingredients

• 1 and ½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped
• 1 heaping cup arugula leaves, roughly chopped
• 4 leaves fresh basil, roughly chopped
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 whole baguette, sliced
• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 (4 oz.) log goat cheese

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the strawberries, arugula, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss lightly to combine. Set aside.
2. Prepare a grill or preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and grill them or toast them on a baking sheet in the oven until golden and crisp, turning halfway through to toast both sides. Transfer to a serving plate.
3. Spread each slice of toasted bread with goat cheese. Top with a spoonful of the strawberry-arugula mixture. Serve immediately.
