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

Method

  • 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.
