Wow! This was a huge hit and easy to make. I also used the strawberry cream cheese which added taste and creaminess.

I toasted a Finnish Pulla instead of baguettes--but it was braided in a log, so it worked just fine. I also mixed the sugar in with the strawberries and added a bit of cinnamon. It makes it a little more syrupy and I didn't bother too much with the caramelization bc I knew I'd burn it. It was wonderful this way, though! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this for several parties and everyone loves it. They say it tastes like strawberry waffles.

This was a welcomed change to "normal" tomato-based bruschetta. It was SO amazing! I cut my strawberries and added the sugar and let it just sit in a covered Pyrex overnight for a brunch I was hosting the next morning. I added fresh basil and fresh mozzarella the day of the brunch(It's not bruschetta without these 2 ingredients!). SO simple yet SO good! Everyone raved about the flavor combo and it was the first thing on the table that disappeared. I will be substituting this for tomato based recipes more often- especially in the Summer! Thanks for a great simple twist on an old idea :)

I made this to go with a red wine tasting party. I took a previous suggestion to use mascarpone cheese and I added a little bit of fresh chopped mint on top of the finished bruschetta when it came out of the oven for the final time. I only toasted one side of the bread and spread the cheese and strawberries on the other (watch it close when carmelizing so the bread doesn't burn!)

Toasted a butered cinnamon-raisin bread, spred a layer of sweetened cream cheese (added Chambord for a nice raspberry undertone), and topped with sliced strawberries. Since the berries were in season, they didn't need sugar. This was delicious with the extra layer of cream cheese...simply delicious!

We loved this! When we made this a second time, we added sugar to the berries after chopping to sweeten. This was spectacular both ways.

Very good. I toasted the baguette slices in the oven, spread with strawberry cream cheese, and topped with strawberries. Very nice idea.

I make a strawberry bruschetta , except I toast a nutty hearty bread, and spread with a mascarpone cheese flavored with honey and they put strawberries on top, with a sprig of mint. They are always a hit and delicious and pretty! Bernadette from Hamilton, NJ
