Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1-inch pieces

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 oz goat cheese, softened

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon honey

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush one side of each slice with olive oil.

      Bake the slices in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until they are lightly toasted and golden.

        While the bread is toasting, prepare the strawberry mixture. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, balsamic glaze, honey, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat the strawberries evenly.

          Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and spread a generous layer of softened goat cheese on the toasted side of each slice.

            Top the goat cheese with the balsamic strawberry mixture, ensuring each piece gets a good amount of strawberries.

              Return the assembled toasts to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, just to warm the strawberries and goat cheese slightly.

                Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
