On the menu for today are these light, fresh and oh so pretty breakfast bruschetta. I’ve been eager to share these with you for a number of weeks.

These fruit bruschetta are wholesome breakfast fayre. Each toast is loaded up with a lavish slick of either light & fresh ricotta cheese or rich & creamy mascarpone. These toasts are then adorned with various fruity toppings and served fresh.

Like their savoury counterpart, these toasty bites could not be simpler to prepare. They are fresh, fruity and substantial. Move over full English fry up, these breakfast bruschetta can be ready in less than 10 minutes and they are a much fresher offering.

The toppings are really up to you. Here are my favourite three:

Strawberries, mint & hazelnuts
Raspberries, basil & pistachio nuts
Blueberries, lemon zest & mint

Tips and FAQs

Expert Tips

Because this breakfast bruschetta recipe is so simple, there are very few places that things can go wrong.

My top tip is to ensure you pick quality flavourful fruit and to serve these toasts as soon as they have been made to ensure they retain their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruit

Honestly, I would always use fresh for these breakfast bruschetta. Frozen fruit does have a tendancy to emit alot of liquid, even once defrosted, and this would turn the toast soggy

What other cheese could I use?

Spreadable goats cheese would pair well with the strawberries. Regular cream cheese would also be an acceptable alternative. All fruits would work with this option.

Can I make them ahead of time?

I really don’t recommend it as the toast will soften. Instead, prepare the toppings ahead of time and just compile everything at the last minute. It’s really a very quick recipe, so ideal for making as required.
