The Olive Bin

Strawberry Bruschetta

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange bread slices on the tray. Drizzle bread with olive oil and season with garlic powder and Italian herbs. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside. In a bowl, combine the strawberries, tomatoes, scallions, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Season with salt and pepper, then gently fold to combine. Taste the mixture; if it is too tart, fold in a tablespoon of honey. Scoop the strawberry mixture onto the toasted bread, including some of the juices. Top with crumbled cheese (if using) and additional torn fresh basil.
