Ingredients
  

  • 1 slice Harvest Artisan Bread or Cranberry Walnut Batard toasted
  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh berries (e.g., blackberries, blueberries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon confectioners’ sugar

Instructions
 

  • Start by toasting a thick slice of cranberry walnut batard or harvest artisan bread until golden and crispy to your preference.
  • While the toast is still warm, spread a generous layer of mascarpone cheese evenly across the surface.
  • Arrange fresh blackberries and blueberries over the mascarpone. Feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonal fruits for variety.
  • Sprinkle lemon zest over the berries for a refreshing citrus kick. Finish with a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar to balance the tartness.
  • Serve the toast immediately while the mascarpone is soft and creamy, and the berries are fresh.

Notes

For gluten-free, replace the bread with a gluten-free artisan loaf. For a keto-friendly option, use low-carb bread and omit the confectioners’ sugar.
