Instructions

Prepare the Baguette: Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter or coconut oil on both sides of each baguette slice to ensure even toasting and a nice flavor.
Toast the Bread: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered baguette slices in the skillet and toast them for about 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
Melt the Chocolate: Remove the skillet from heat and quickly place pieces of dark chocolate on each toasted baguette slice. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for about 5 minutes off the heat so the chocolate melts gently from the residual warmth.
Slice the Strawberries: While the chocolate is melting, wash and thinly slice the fresh strawberries for topping.
Assemble the Bruschetta: Arrange the toasted baguette slices on a serving plate. Top each slice generously with the sliced strawberries.
Add the Nuts and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the strawberry-topped bruschetta for crunch and extra flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm melted chocolate and fresh fruit.

Notes

You can substitute coconut oil for butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
Use whole grain or gluten-free baguette if preferred for dietary needs.
Feel free to swap strawberries for other fresh fruits such as raspberries or blueberries.
Choose your favorite chocolate type depending on sweetness preference—dark, milk, or semi-sweet.
Chopped nuts add texture and flavor but can be omitted or replaced with seeds for nut allergies.
