These sweet toasts are perfect for tea parties. Think of them as Strawberry Goat Cheese Bruschetta. The tang of the goat cheese is so good with a sweet strawberries and the slight sharpness of balsamic vinegar. They’re flavors that work so well in this Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad I love serving them during get-togethers. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. The colours of red, white and blue from the cheese and fruit makes this a great recipe for the 4th of July or British events such as Royal jubilees! Love cheese?
