Strawberry Breakfast Bruschetta
(8 servings)
- 2 small ciabatta rolls
-
2 Tablespoons sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
softened butter
-
1 cup fresh strawberries - hulled and diced
-
2 additional Tablespoons sugar
-
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
-
the juice of 1/2 a lemon
-
1/4 cup sour cream
-
2 Tablespoon plain yogurt
-
2 teaspoons honey
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat broiler or oven (set to broil).
Split each of the rolls with a knife. Cut each half in half so each roll makes 4 pieces of bread. Butter each of pieces. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the butter.
Place in the broiler or oven to toast. This should only take about 2 minutes, but watch them closely so they don't burn.
For the topping, toss the strawberries with the other 2 Tablespoons of sugar, the basil and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, yogurt, honey and vanilla.
Take the toasted ciabatta and top each piece with a spoonful of creamy topping and spoonful of sweetened strawberries.
* You can also use vanilla yogurt and skip the vanilla extract.
This is a sweet and light breakfast dish that's very nice looking if assembled with care. My mom made this for my pre-wedding brunch and everyone loved it.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank TinaNY for this recipe.
