  • Expert Tip: You want the sauce to be a little bit chunky so don’t completely mash all the strawberries.

  • Slowly spoon the strawberry sauce over the the block of cheese.
  • Top with thinly sliced basil.
  • Serve with your favorite crackers or pita chips. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
