Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced baguette pieces on a baking sheet.

    Lightly brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt on top.

      Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the crostini are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

        In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended.

          Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each crostini slice.

            Top each adorned crostini with several slices of fresh strawberries.

              For an extra touch, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the strawberries (if using) and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

                Serve immediately to enjoy the crunch and freshness.
