This is so easy to make, and it's delicious! I made it for dessert, but this would be a really good thing to take to a bbq or potluck brunch... or basically eat anytime of day.
1 baguette-style French bread
1 (8 ounce) container cream cheese
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup strawberry jelly
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut bread into 24 slices about 1/4-inch thick. Place in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 10 minutes or until lightly brown, turning once. (If you're making this for kids, it might be better to not toast the bread)
Stir together cream cheese and honey; spread on one side of each bread slice.
Arrange strawberry slices on the cheese.
Heat jelly in a custard cup in a microwave oven on high power for 30 seconds; stir (or heat and stir in a small saucepan until melted). Brush jelly over strawberries.
Serve with a few whole berries to decorate the tray.
We had raspberry jam open, which I thought added a nice depth. Definitely don't forget the jelly on top, it tastes sooo good with it! If you're making it to take somewhere, I think it looks better to only brush jam on the strawberries... it makes the cream cheese look a little icky after a while (but it still tastes amazing)
