Savory Goat Cheese Bruschetta – The Best Appetizer!

Goat Cheese Bruschetta is the perfect appetizer for any party or get together. With the combination of fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, and basil, this bruschetta is the perfect start to any meal.

Ingredients Used in the Bruschetta

French bread or French baguette – if you prefer a softer crust, go with the French bread. I also tend to cut my slices a little thicker, as this tends to be a little heartier and easier to bite into.

Olive oil – you may swap this with avocado oil.

Cherry tomatoes – tomatoes are the star ingredient in this recipe. Make sure to get juicy, fresh tomatoes! You may also swap for roma tomatoes within this recipe.

Garlic – if using fresh garlic, be sure to mince into small pieces.

Purple onion – purple, white, or yellow onion all goes well within this recipe!

Basil – fresh basil combines all the flavors. Add more or less depending on what you prefer.

Balsamic vinegar – essential ingredient for an authentic flavor.

Goat cheese – adds a savory flavor and creamy texture.

Balsamic glaze – this is the perfect finishing touch to the bruschetta!

What to Pair with the Goat Cheese Bruschetta

This appetizer goes well with anything. I typically make it for parties or get togethers, but this appetizer also goes well with any pasta night!

For ideas, pair this bruschetta with other appetizers such as the Fresh & Easy Guacamole or Easy & Colorful Cowboy Caviar Recipe.

For an Italian themed dinner night, pair the bruschetta with:

• Spaghetti and Meatballs
• Baked Ziti
• Chicken Primavera
• Garlic Butter Baked Chicken
• Lasagna
