Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for toasting the bread.
- Toast the Bread: Brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with the melted butter, then place them buttered side up on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Cool the Toasts: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow them to cool completely to prevent the spread from melting.
- Prepare the Nutella Cream Spread: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand mixer in a bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and Nutella together until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread the Nutella cream mixture evenly over each cooled toast slice, then top with the diced strawberries. Garnish each piece with toasted chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of warm toasted bread, creamy Nutella spread, fresh strawberries, and crunchy walnuts.
- Toasting Walnuts (Optional): To toast walnuts on the stovetop, place them in a small sauté pan over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally until they become fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easy blending with Nutella.
- Ensure bread is fully cooled before spreading the Nutella cream to avoid melting.
- Toast walnuts carefully over low heat to prevent burning.
- For a different nut option, pecans or almonds can be used in place of walnuts.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative.
