Now that Spring as officially arrived, I’m ready to embrace the seasons fruits and vegetables – starting with this sweet breakfast-esq crostini. I thought this would be a perfect way to start Easter morning, but really, this would be a perfect way to start any day.

The tangy rhubarb mixed with the spice of the ginger and sweetness of strawberries pairs wonderfully with some toasted bread and creamy goat cheese. It would be a great addition to any brunch table and I have a feeling the preserves will be perfect over some oatmeal or coconut ice cream.

Rhubarb & Strawberry Breakfast Crostini makes about 2 cups preserves – adapted from Bon Appétit
