Preparation

What You Need


Salsa:
3 green onions, chopped
1 pint of strawberries, washed, hulled and chopped
1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) ground cumin
1 tsp (5 ml) chili powder
2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh basil
Salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 baguette bread, thinly sliced
8 oz (250 g) Canadian Gouda cheese, sliced or shredded
Small fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).

Combine all salsa ingredients and let stand at room temperature.

Meanwhile, top baguette slices with Gouda and place on a cookie sheet. Bake 5, 10 min, or 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.


Tips

Take advantage of summer's bounty and prepare salsa with peaches, pears or whatever's in season.

Many kinds of cheese can be used in place of the Gouda in this recipe, so go with the inspiration of the moment - Canadian Swiss, Cheddar, Colby, Mozzarella,etc.

For a milder flavour and smoother texture, try Brie or Camembert.
