Fun, colourful and ultra-quick to assemble, these mixed fruit breakfast bruschetta are the healthy answer to your breakfast woes.

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.

Ingredients

The ingredients for these breakfast bruschetta are simple and easy to get hold of. So ensure you pick premium quality for the best flavour, especially when selecting the baguette.

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

  • Strawberries, mint & hazelnuts
  • Raspberries, basil & pistachio nuts
  • Blueberries, lemon zest & mint
Ingredients: raspberries, blueberries, mint, mascarpone cheese and honey

The only extra addition is honey and a little cracked pepper (for the strawberries), but both are entirely optional.

I like to make all three to create a mini buffet of fresh fruit breakfast bruschetta.

Instructions

These fruit bruschetta are incredibly simple to prepare:

Step 1: Begin by slicing the bread on the diagonal, then lightly toasting it on both sides

Step 2: Spread with mascarpone or ricotta

Step 3: Pile the fruit, fresh herbs, nuts, honey and seasoning onto the fruit as desired and serve straight away

This is a great recipe to get the kids involved with – they will love compiling their own breakfast bruschetta.

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.

Notes

      Ah, thankyou Meghan – I decided to invest in the backdrop when I saw it being used elsewhere. But I’ve become addicted – it’s so hard to use something different instead right now.

    These toasts are sooo pretty, and I’m totally loving the flavour pairings! I don’t know which one I’d wanna try first1

    I hope that your wall is on the mend, and you got that cocktail!

      If in doubt just make all three and gorge…. The wall should be fully healed by Friday and I now have a device to help me find pipes and live wires 🙂 … I may wait a few more days before I attempt to hang more pictures though.

    Lovely pictures! This is the sort of breakfast I enjoy – lots of fruits, fresh flavors, and easy to put together. They all look so great, but I especially have my eye on the strawberry toasts. I’ve only recently become converted to the strawberry/black pepper combo, and I love it!

      Annemarie, thankyou. That black pepper works a magic number on those already gorgeous strawberries doesn’t it?

    These berry toasts looks so yummy and delicious, and a perfect breakfast treat. So many lovely flavours, not sure which I would say could possibly be my favourite either.

    I do hope you managed to enjoy some delcious cocktails too, and that perhaps you stay away from the DIY for now.

      Thanks Helen. I settled for a glass of red wine in the end. And I’m about to order a wall scanning tool to alert me to any more hidden pipes!

      Thanks Jovita – vaguely seasonal berries are just beginning to appear around me, but I can’t wait for the proper summer bounty berries to arrive.

    What a lovely healthy recipe and great for summer! I think they’d be perfect for a summer garden party or as an appetiser.

      Corinia, i think you are right, for an informal get together these would also be perfect nibbles – why restrict them to breakfast. I think a glass of something bubbly would go veery nicely with them too.
