Strawberry & Blue Cheese Bruschetta

By Brandymoe

Ingredients

• 12 medium strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 cup (2 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel)
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1-2 teaspoons water, if needed
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 12 slices whole-grain baguette (1/4 inch thick), warmed or toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Combine strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl and let stand while you make the cheese spread.

Combine cream cheese and blue cheese in a small bowl using a fork. Add water, if necessary, for a thick but spreadable consistency. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives and pepper.

Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture on each piece of baguette. Top with the sliced berries. Garnish with a sprinkle of chives, if desired.
