An easy recipe that is elegant enough for entertaining is difficult to come by. Factor in taste and time and your options will narrow significantly. Fortunately, bruschetta is one of the simplest appetizers possible. Also going under the name of “crostini,” they are tasty, quick and subject to a nearly infinite number of variations. A blithe palate served up an ideal springtime variation on bruschetta with strawberries, basil, mascarpone and honey. The topping is layered on cinnamon raisin bread, making this dish ideal for a brunch get-together. The “bruschetta” would also make a delicious and original after-lunch dessert.
