If you love someone...don't set them free...make these.

If the worshiping of "you" is what you crave...make these.

If you are able to endure endless hours of merciless praise and wonderment from the love of your life...make these.

Does your lover need a little nudge remembering you belong on a pedestal high up in the sky....make these...they will never forget about you and your special perch again.

These Breakfast Bruschetta with Strawberries and Tangy Cream are the answer to all things bliss. 

Mornings are not always the easiest part of the day but these lovely twists on an Italian classic will help start your day off sweet.

Now go place your crown on top of your head and get ready to take your rightful place as King or Queen of the kitchen and don't forget your scepter too!




Here's all you need to make these happen:  Granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ciabatta bread, fresh strawberries, fresh basil, fresh lemon juice, butter, sour cream, plain yogurt, honey and vanilla extract.




Preheat broiler to HIGH with rack 6" from the heating element.

Combine 2 Tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a dish.  Cut ciabatta roll or loaf in half and cut into triangles.  Generously butter each slice of bread.  Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the buttered sides of the bread and broil on a baking sheet until toasted, about 2-3 minutes.




Stir 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 Tablespoons plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons honey and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl.




Toss 1 cup of fresh, diced strawberries, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped basil and juice of 1/2 a lemon in a bowl.




To assemble the bruschetta place 2 Tablespoons berries with juice on each piece of toast.  Dollop with 1 teaspoon sour cream mixture.  Add more basil for garnish.




Can you really think of a better way to start your day?  I didn't think so.
