Goat Cheese & Roasted Strawberry Canapes

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place whole strawberries on the parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until they start to caramelize.

Remove from pan and place in a medium size mixing bowl. Add in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey and salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon or other kitchen utensil (I used a whisk), mash the mixture together until a chunky jam forms. Taste the mixture and add additional balsamic, honey, or salt or pepper to taste if still a bit sweet or not sweet enough.

Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF. Place slices of bread on a baking sheet with new parchment paper. Spread cheese over each slice. Add about 1 teaspoon or so of compote. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until bread is browned and cheese is slightly melted. Add a few sprigs of fresh arugula and enjoy!
