Ingredients

Bread and Topping

  • 8 1/2-inch-thick slices sourdough bread
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Spread

  • 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Nutella hazelnut spread

Toppings

  • 2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for toasting the bread.
  2. Toast Bread: Brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with melted butter and lay them buttered side up on the baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cool Bread: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely so the spread doesn’t melt when applied.
  4. Prepare Spread: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a hand mixer in a bowl, beat the cream cheese and Nutella together until smooth and well combined.
  5. Assemble Bruschetta: Spread the Nutella and cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled toasted bread slices. Top each with the diced strawberries.
  6. Add Walnuts: Sprinkle the toasted chopped walnuts over the strawberries for a crunchy garnish and added flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve these delicious strawberry dessert bruschettas immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts on the stovetop, place them in a small sauté pan over low heat and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
  • You can substitute walnuts with other nuts like pecans or almonds if desired.
  • Ensure the bread is cooled before spreading the cream cheese and Nutella mixture to prevent melting.
  • For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese and Nutella with plant-based alternatives.
  • This recipe serves 8, making it great for parties and gatherings.
