Instructions

Place the oven rack in the top third of the oven. Turn the broiler on low.
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch (1.25 centimeters) thick slices.
Place the slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Brush the tops with the softened butter.
Broil just until the tops are toasted, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, fold together the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla paste, and salt until well blended.
Once the toasted bread is cooled, spread the mascarpone over the top of each slice.
Top with berries, then drizzle with honey and garnish with mint leaves.
Serve immediately.
