Chutney is a condiment similar to relish and is typically made with some kind of fruit, a bit of sugar, and some vinegar and spices. When I saw a pin on Pinterest for a bruschetta with strawberry chutney and goat cheese by Rock Recipes my interest was piqued. I love Major Grey’s chutney, made with mango and raisins, so I thought a strawberry chutney would be something delicious to try. The combination of sweet strawberries, balsamic vinegar and spices pairs so well. And let me tell you, when the spices hit the pan the aroma is fantastic! The toasted slice of baguette adds a nice crunch while the goat cheese adds some smooth creaminess. All the flavors blend so nicely into one delicious bite.

This recipe for Bruschetta with Strawberry Chutney and Goat Cheese is simple to make and delicious served a bit warm…gets that goat cheese a little melty. Yum!
