All this week on C&C…we’re bringing you BRUSCHETTA! We love the classic tomato, but there are so many other variations on this appetizer. In fact, today’s version could easy be dessert…or even breakfast!
This was amazingly delicious. Crunchy cinnamon-sweetened bread, a lemony cream cheese layer topped with sweet strawberries – I could have eaten the whole plate. Serve this one up for your sweethearts and prepared to be loved!
Strawberries & Cream Bruschetta
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of FRENCH BREAD, sliced ¼ inch thick
- ¼ cup BUTTER, melted
- 3 Tablespoons SUGAR
- ½ teaspoon CINNAMON
- 1 LEMON
- 8 oz. CREAM CHEESE, softened
- ¼ cup POWDERED SUGAR
- 16 oz. STRAWBERRIES, hulled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Place bread slices on baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over bread slices. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden.

This is right up my alley. I drooled all over myself reading how to make it. I just need to go get the ingredients now.
Perfectly scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing at Taking A Timeout Thursday! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Ooh an Italian inspired twist to stuffed French toast. I have bookmarked this to try because it looks too good to not make.
What a perfect summer appetizer!
