# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It is incredibly quick to prepare, taking only 10 minutes from start to finish.
  • The combination of tangy balsamic glaze and sweet strawberries creates a gourmet flavor profile.
  • It is naturally vegetarian and easy to adapt for vegan or gluten-free diets.
02 -
  • Check bread labels carefully for potential allergens like dairy, eggs, or nuts depending on the type of sourdough used.
  • For the most aesthetic presentation, thinly slice the basil just before serving to keep it bright green.
  • If the balsamic glaze cools too much and becomes too thick, a very small amount of warmth will make it pourable again.
