125 ml balsamic vinegar
12 slices Italian bread
15 ml olive oil
450 g strawberries, washed and diced
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for serving
250 g goat cheese, at room temperature
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Step 1
In a small skillet, heat the vinegar over medium-low heat. Simmer until reduced by about half, for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Prepare a grill for high heat. Place the bread slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.
Step 3
Combine the strawberries and thyme in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Grill the bread on the preheated grill until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 5
Spread the goat cheese on the toasted bread. Season the strawberry mixture with black pepper, salt, and reduced vinegar. Spoon it over the goat cheese topped bruschetta. Garnish with additional thyme.
