Ingredients

1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.

Lightly brush each slice with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

While the bread is toasting, prepare the cream cheese spread. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Once the baguette slices are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each toasted crostini.

Top the spread with sliced strawberries and sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over them.

Drizzle balsamic glaze on top of the crostini for an added burst of flavor.

Serve immediately for the best crunch and freshness.
