Description

This has to be the easiest and most flavorful appetizer Ive ever made! Its such a crowd pleaser and always gets gobbled up fast! The combined flavors of fresh basil, flavored balsamic and strawberries over the cheese is divine!

Do you know how hard it is to prepare food for your family where you and one of your children can only eat certain things due to food allergies, but the other 2 people in your family can eat anything they want?? Hi…and welcome to my life!! It’s ok though…I have this figured out. By the way…I’m Amanda! I’m the creator, writer, cooker (as my son calls me) and amateur photographer of Recipes Worth Repeating! You’re going to love my recipes because I cater to both needs. My recipes can be made gluten-free, as well as traditional! Yes! You do have the option for both!

Directions

Let your bag of frozen strawberries thaw at room temperature.
Combine berries, sugar and balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Mash ingredients together and let stand for 30 minutes. This allows ingredients to marinate.
Remove the cream cheese from the package and place on a serving plate.
Slowly spoon the berry mixture over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle with basil. I like to use a lot of basil!
Serve with your favorite crackers. Store in the refrigerator.
