How to Make Whipped Goat Cheese Bruschetta (Two Ways)

1. Toast the bread (bake in the oven about 10 minutes), then set aside.
2. Make the balsamic reduction on the stove.
3. Combine ingredients to make the whipped goat cheese in a blender or stand mixer.
4. Assemble bruschetta by topping each slice of bread with the goat cheese mixture, then add preferred toppings. Drizzle with the balsamic, then serve and enjoy!

What is bruschetta?

Bruschetta is a toasted bread appetizer. It’s traditionally served topped with olive oil and tomatoes, but you can really top it with anything you like.

What bread should I use for bruschetta?

You want to use a rustic bread that gets crispy when toasted and holds up when topped with ingredients. French Bread and baguettes work well.

What toppings can I add to goat cheese bruschetta?

I’m showing you how to make a caprese (tomato and basil) version and a triple berry version so you can choose from sweet or savory (or make both!).

Other topping ideas for goat cheese bruschetta include:

• thinly sliced apples or pears.
• drizzling honey or caramel sauce for a sweeter option.
• cucumbers and tomatoes.
• jalapenos and/or bell peppers.

Can I make these ahead of time?

These are best served right after making them, when the bread has been freshly toasted and is still warm. However, you can prepare the whipped goat cheese mixture and keep it in the fridge until ready to use it.

Recipe Tips and Notes

• Cut bread into 1/2 inch slices, so it’s not too thin or too thick.
• You can toast the bread in the oven or on the grill.
• The balsamic adds the perfect flavor to both versions. But you could use honey for the triple berry, or olive oil for the caprese, instead.
• Skip the garlic powder if you’re making the triple berry version.
• You’ll want these to be a little warm and toasty when serving so I recommend making them right when you’re ready to serve them.

You and your guests will LOVE this whipped goat cheese bruschetta. Either flavor option you choose, it will be delicious! Serve at parties, before dinner, or with co*cktails. It’s also a great holiday appetizer. Enjoy!
