Ingredients

Pomegranate Bruschetta

  • 1 large french baguette, cut into 1"" slices
  • 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, minced
  • juice and zest from 1 orange
  • balsamic reduction, recipe below

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Slice the baguette into 1"" slices and lay flat on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until crispy and slightly brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Stir together balsamic vinegar and agave nectar in a sauce pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and boil for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until balsamic has reduced to about ⅓ cup. Remove from heat and let cool while assembling the bruschetta.
  • In a small bowl combine pomegranate arils, basil, and orange zest and juice.
  • Spread a layer of vegan cream cheese on toasted baguette, drizzle with balsamic reduction, and top with pomegranate/basil mixture.
  • Serve immediately.
