Strawberry and Cream Bruschetta image

This is a dessert take on bruschetta. Sweet, cinnamony toast slices are topped with a cream cheese mixture, strawberries and almonds. These treats remind me of miniature cheesecakes. They're so yummy! -Christi Meixner, Aurora, Illinois

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The strawberries were bland and the mascarpone cheese was too thick. The bread was also too hard. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was so easy to make and so delicious! I used fresh strawberries from my garden and they were perfect. The mascarpone cheese was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.

I tried this recipe and it turned out great! The strawberries were sweet and juicy, and the mascarpone cheese was rich and creamy. The bread was perfectly toasted and the balsamic glaze added a nice touch of sweetness. I would definitely make this ag

This strawberry and cream bruschetta was a delightful treat! The combination of sweet strawberries, creamy mascarpone, and crispy bread was perfect. I loved the pop of flavor from the balsamic glaze. It was easy to make and looked so impressive when
