Sweet & Savory Strawberry Ricotta Balsamic English Muffin Bites

I love Sunday mornings. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no alarms to wake me up at 6:30 in the morning. It’s also the day we have fun with our food – because we actually have time to really sit down and enjoy what we are eating. I recently discovered Bays English Muffins and have been OBSESS

ED with them.

Sweet & Savory Strawberry Ricotta Balsamic English Muffin Bites

Last weekend we made these amazing Strawberry, Ricotta, and Balsamic Bites that have the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The lemon zest adds a perfect tartness to the ricotta and goat cheese and the strawberries have a wonderful sweetness to that layers with the balsamic glaze, making each bite perfection in my mouth.
