Watch out, Mr. Bagel, there's more than one way to spread strawberry cream cheese. We also suspect this topping would be delicious on morning toast-if you can keep it around that long. -Debbie Limas, North Andover, Massachusetts

Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful berries: The quality of your berries will make a big difference in the taste of your bruschetta. Look for berries that are plump, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
Use a variety of berries: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of berries. This will add complexity and flavor to your bruschetta.
Make the berry mixture ahead of time: You can make the berry mixture up to 24 hours in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the bruschetta.
Use a good quality bread: The bread is an important part of bruschetta. Look for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings.
Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to be crispy and flavorful.
Don't overload the bruschetta: You want each bite to have a good balance of flavors. Don't pile on too many toppings.
Serve the bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is assembled. The bread will start to get soggy if you wait too long.
