Strawberry & Jarlsberg® Bruschetta Recipe

This is strawberries and cream reimagined, pairing juicy seasonal berries with nutty, melty Jarlsberg® cheese atop golden, buttery toast. It’s sweet, savoury, and just a little unexpected, ideal for those looking to serve something elegant yet easy.

Serves 4 | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of good-quality bread (like sourdough or rustic loaf)
• A little butter, for frying
• 150 g Jarlsberg® Original (or Lite / Special Reserve)
• 400 g fresh strawberries
• 1 bunch of fresh basil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• A few drops of olive oil

Method:

1. Toast the Bread:
   Preheat the oven to broil. Butter both sides of the bread and toast in a skillet until golden on both sides.
2. Add Cheese & Broil:
   Place generous slices of Jarlsberg® on the toasted bread. Broil until melted and bubbling, watch closely to avoid burning.
3. Prepare the Topping:
   Roughly chop strawberries. Finely chop the basil. Mix together with a bit of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Assemble:
   Spoon the strawberry mixture over the hot, cheesy bruschetta. Serve immediately.

It’s the perfect match-day snack, light, flavourful, and a total conversation starter.
