A slightly different way to have fruit in the morning! These make a beautiful, colorful presentation. They are great for a buffet table or brunch but also substantial enough to provide what you need to start a busy work day!
Ingredients
- 1 1lb loaf Italian bread, sliced on a diagonal, into 12 pieces shopping list
- 1/2 pint fresh strawberries, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 small melon, diced(honeydew or cantaloupe, for example) shopping list
- 4 clementines, nectarines or mandarins, peeled and diced shopping list
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils shopping list
- 1 lime, juiced shopping list
- 1T honey shopping list
- 1/4t fresh grated nutmeg shopping list
- 1/2 cup pinenuts(lightly toasted, if desired) shopping list
- 8oz mascarpone or cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 1 stick butter, melted shopping list
- 2 rounded T brown sugar shopping list
- 2t cinnamon shopping list
- (double the previous 3 ingredients if you want to coat both sides of bread) shopping list
How to make it
- Combine butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and stir to dissolve and mix well.
- Lightly brush butter mixture over one(or both) sides of each slice of bread. See Photo
- Bake bread at 425 for about 10 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. See Photo
- Meanwhile, toss fruits with lime juice, honey and nutmeg and set aside. See Photo
- Cool bread just enough to handle, and then spread with thin layer of mascarpone or cream cheese. It will melt, slightly, which is a good thing!
- Top each piece with a spoonful of fruit mixture and sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Serve immediately while still slightly warm, or these are fine to sit out for a while and eaten room temperature.
