Strawberry Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Ingredients

½ cup balsamic vinegar

12 slices Italian bread

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound strawberries, washed and diced

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving

1 cup goat cheese, room temperature

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1

Heat vinegar in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Simmer until reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Prepare a grill for high heat. Place bread slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 3

Combine strawberries and thyme in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Grill bread on the preheated grill until browned, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Spread goat cheese on toasted bread. Add black pepper, salt, and reduced vinegar to the strawberry mixture. Spoon over the goat cheese topped bruschetta. Garnish with additional thyme.

Cook's Note:

You can toast the bread under the broiler instead of on a grill if needed.
