Ingredients
  

  • 1 Slice Crusty Bread lightly toasted
  • ¼ C Mascarpone
  • 2-4 teaspoon Honey divided, to taste. Or sub maple syrup, agave nectar, powdered sugar, or sweetener of choice.
  • 8-10 Strawberries sliced
  • 2 teaspoon Balsamic Reduction

Instructions
 

  • Pour balsamic vinegar into sauce pot. Put pot over low heat. Simmer until thick and syrupy. If you're feeling lazy, certain stores actually carry balsamic reductions already made.
    NOTE: If you want a sweeter balsamic reduction, add honey, agave or maple syrup to taste.
  • Mix 1-2 teaspoon honey and mascarpone until well combined.
  • Rinse your berries well. Stem and slice them. Drizzle them with a bit of honey (1-2 tsp), stir and let them sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Take a thick-ish slice of your yummy bread and toast it just enough to warm through. Slather on a generous swoosh of sweetened mascarpone. Pile the berries and their accumulated juices on as high as your heart desires. Drizzle with some balsamic vinegar. Dig in!

Notes

  • Nutrition values are very approximate and will vary based on the size of the slice of bread you choose. For reference, this is based on a 185 calorie slice. 
  • No mascarpone? No problem! Mix together 8 oz of softened cream cheese with ¼ cup of heavy whipping cream. Mix until well combined. Your "mascarpone" is ready to use!
