Notes

Tips for the Best Strawberry Ricotta Bruschetta

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh strawberries and mint make all the difference.
Toast Just Right: Avoid over-baking the baguette slices; they should be golden and crispy but not too hard.
Add a Drizzle: A little balsamic glaze can enhance the flavors even more!
Make Ahead: You can prepare the strawberry mixture and ricotta spread in advance, but assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
