Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into approximately 12 half-inch thick slices.
Melt the butter and brush it onto both sides of each baguette slice.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 7-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the bread is toasting, hull and finely dice the strawberries and mango, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the strawberries and mango. Mix gently to combine.
In a separate small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, honey, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Once the baguette slices are cool enough to handle, spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture onto each slice.
Top each mascarpone-coated slice with a spoonful of the strawberry and mango mixture.
Garnish with a small mint leaf or a light drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
