About the Recipe
The rich, creamy mascarpone cheese goes wonderfully with the strawberries and fresh basil. The fruit adds some sweetness to the cheese, and the freshness of the basil shines through in every bite. Other fruits that work well are raspberries, blackberries and peaches. Serve single fruits or a combination.
Ingredients
8 slices of baguette
3/4 cup strawberries, diced

In a small bowl toss together strawberries, lemon juice and basil. Set aside.
