Strawberry Gorgonzola Bruschetta Appetizer


While checking some stuff at Henry's earlier this evening they were demoing a new appetizer that I fell in love with and felt the immediate need to share it with you all! It is very easy to make and pleasing on the eyes.

What you need:
Mini garlic toast
Gorgonzola cheese
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive oil
Fresh Strawberries
Salt & Pepper

You prep by turning on the broiler. Lay the mini toasts on a cookie sheet and mix three tablespoons of olive oil to one tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Brush it onto each of the toasts and sprinkle some coarse sea salt (any should do, I just enjoy the flavor of sea salt quite a bit). Place a piece of Gorgonzola onto the toasts and pop them into the oven for about three-five minutes. Keep an eye on them because you want the cheese to begin to melt, not over done. After you pull them out, place a strawberry slice onto each and finish with fresh ground pepper on top. I took the picture before adding the pepper by mistake. It was incredibly delicious but very rich! I would recommend to serve it with some light white wine. An oak tasting Chardonnay or any Pinot Grigio would be amazing.

Enjoy! :)
