Some culinary trends are silly. I don’t want deconstructedsoups or faux-Kobe sliders. Others are only silly when done poorly. The popular savory/sweet trend is a great example.While it's often some kind of salted caramel bacon topped ridiculousness, It can be something as easy and approachableas this sexy strawberry goat cheese bruschetta. The way the tangy, slightly salty goat cheese works with thesyrupy, balsamic-coated strawberries and crispy, charred bread is a thing ofbeauty.
By the way, I’ve got great news if you stink at picking out sweetstrawberries. Because we are using a balsamic reduction, this dish actually worksvery nicely with less-than-perfect berries.
However, one thing that will not work is poor qualityvinegar. You’re going to want to use real, aged balsamic vinegar from Modena,Italy. There’s just no substitute. Every large market sells it now, so pick upa bottle, and try this very tasty, albeit trendy treat soon. Enjoy!
