Crostini a La Ristorante Delicata

Stolen from a local source. I don't feel guilty anymore. Fresh, local produce is essential for this recipe. We love our Oregon-made artisan goat cheese from Alsea Acre Farm. Creamy, peppery, sweet, tangy in one bite-simple and delicious!

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Yields: 8-10 crostini

Ingredients

• 8 -10  slices  French bread, sliced about 1/2-inch thick (or any similar type bread)
• 6  ounces  fromage blanc  goat cheese (Chevre for example. We used plain chevre with no herbs or any other additions.)
• 4 -6  ounces baby arugula (ideally from your garden or the local farmer's market)
• 3 -4  large strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced 1/4-inch
• 2  tablespoons  dark  balsamic vinegar (good quality!)

Directions

1. First toast or broil the bread slices until golden.
2. Spread the goat cheese on each slice of bread.
3. Add a scattering of baby arugula then top with a slice of strawberry.
4. For the final touch, drizzle with a {{very light touch}} of dark balsamic vinegar.
5. Enjoy!
