| Total: | 2 hr 15 min |
| Active: | 30 min |
| Yield: | 20 crostini |
Ingredients
- 4 cups diced beefsteak tomatoes (2 to 3 large tomatoes)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 baguette
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 40 small mint leaves, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- For the jam: Place the diced tomatoes in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a loose jam, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
- To assemble the crostini: Preheat the broiler to high.
- Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Brush each slice on both sides with the olive oil. Place the bread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with the salt and broil until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Top each crostini with a teaspoon of jam and some of the feta. Garnish with one or two mint leaves if using.

Reviews
This combination might seem strange, but it is absolutely delicious!
Made this for a dinner party last night and everyone raved about it. the combination seems strange but it works. Took longer than 45 minutes to reach consistency but ok. Served over a block of cream cheese with crackers.
I made these last night for our 4th of July party and they were a hit!! Everyone ate them right up. I wasn’t sure about tomato and strawberry but it works. It was really good. Easy and looks fancy. I loved it
