When sweet, dessert-like strawberries, mingled with refreshing mint and a rich balsamic bite, meet a crisp slice of baguette smeared with a thick layer of creamy ricotta, you get an exquisite Italian bruschetta that will grace any house party, Sunday brunch, bachelorette party, or other celebration. Incredibly easy to prepare, it always looks impressive and is a huge hit with guests. Assemble the bruschetta just before serving to enjoy the crispness of the toast contrasting with the rich topping. Katie Lee also recommends sprinkling the sandwiches with flaky sea salt to enhance the strawberry flavor even more.
