Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2
Stir together the diced strawberries, julienned basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and balsamic vinegar. Taste and add a pinch of sugar if you'd like a sweeter bruschetta! Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the baguette slices to a baking sheet and brush the top of each slice with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Step 4
White the baguette slices bake, mix together the ricotta and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dollop ricotta onto each crostini, spreading ever so slightly towards the edges, then top with the strawberry mixture, more basil, and balsamic glaze if desired. Makes 8-10 crostini. Feel free to double the recipe if you are serving a crowd. Enjoy!
