stawberry spinach bruschetta with chevre



unique take on an italian classic.

ingredients:

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup fresh spinach, stems removed (arugula can also be used)
one baguette
one package chevre, usually sold in 4oz logs
olive oil
ground sea salt & pepper

directions:

place rack in oven about midway down. based on your ovens (in)ability to broil properly, you may need to place it one rack up. i wouldn't preheat too much on the broiler, but i tend to burn things when broiling.

slice baguette to your preference. for smaller pieces make slice crosswise first then lengthwise. brush with olive oil. on large cookie sheet, broil until lightly toasted.

spread chevre onto toasts and top with sliced berries. broil until cheese and berries are soft.

top with spinach, or arugula, salt and pepper, and drizzle a bit of oil on the whole mess.
