Cherry Bruschetta


                    There is something so dreamy about grilled bread with amazing fruit on top.
                 Bruschetta, one of life's greatest pleasures. You can have with Savory or Sweet
                     Either way...it is incredible. I look for any reason to have crusty bread.
                          Please make this while Cherries are in season. I mean like....run
                      to the store and impress some neighbors or loved ones. You can even
                               make it to treat yourself. You are so worth it. Enjoy.

                                                            Cherry Bruschetta

                                     1 Baguette
                                     Cherries, pitted and sliced
                                     Lindt Dark Chocolate, chopped
                                     Honey
                                     1/2 lime
                                     1 teaspoon sugar
                                     Honey Nut Cream Cheese

                         1) Cut cherries and place in bowl. Pour sugar, honey and lime on top
                         and mix. Set aside.
                         2) Grill or broil bread until toasted. If you can you can add a little butter
                         before grilling. It makes everything better =)
                         3) Once bread is toasted add cream cheese. Top with cherry mixture.
                         Garnish with chocolate and drizzle with honey.
