Strawberry, Fava Bean, and Pecorino Crostini


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf good-quality crusty bread, cut into 1/2" slices
  • 2 cups frozen fava beans, lima beans, or edamame, thawed
  • 1 1/2 cups diced fresh strawberries
  • 6 ounces Pecorino Toscano cheese, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Using 1/4 cup olive oil, brush bread slices with oil and season with Kosher salt. Grill bread on both sides until toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, combine thawed beans, strawberries, cheese, scallions, remaining 1/2 cup olive oil, white wine vinegar, and oregano in a medium mixing bowl. Season generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let flavors meld for at least 15 minutes before serving. If wanting to make ahead, you can refrigerate for a few hours. Just wait to grill bread until ready to serve so that way it's warm and remove mixture from fridge at least 15 minutes before serving.
  3. Top grilled bread slices with generous amounts of the strawberry and bean mixture. Devour immediately.
