Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat baguette slices with cooking spray; sprinkle with sugar. Bake in oven until golden. Meanwhile, mix together cream cheese and almond extract. Spread on toasts. Top with berries, almonds and powdered sugar.

 

Notes: Family and guests are delighted with the novelty of this bruschetta because it is sweet instead of the expected savory. It's also low in fat and delicious. The slices of bread can be toasted on a grill, but watch carefully as they can burn easily.

 

Number of Servings: Serves 4 or 8
