Recipe ingredients
- Salsa
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 pint strawberries, washed, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp. (7 mL) sugar*
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) Irresistible ground cumin
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) chili powder
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) chopped fresh basil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Canapés
- 1 baguette bread, thinly sliced
- About 1/2 lb (225 g) Canadian Gouda, sliced or shredded
- Small fresh basil leaves
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.
Combine all salsa ingredients and let stand at room temperature.
Meanwhile, top baguette slices with cheese and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake until bread is crispy and cheese melted.
Remove from oven, top each canapé with a bit of strawberry salsa and garnish with a small leaf of fresh basil.
Serve warm or cold.
Variation:
Many kinds of cheese can be used in place of the Gouda in this recipe, so go with the inspiration of the moment – Swiss, Cheddar, Colby, Mozzarella, Oka, etc.
Suggestion
For a milder flavour and smoother texture, try Brie or Camembert.Take advantage of summer's bounty and prepare salsa with peaches, pears or whatever's in season.
