Not your same ole' Bruschetta

The bruschetta that we all know and love usually consists of tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and a few other key ingredients. I had some leftover goat cheese in the fridge and decided that adding this to regular ole' bruschetta would probably make for a delicious combination. You will be happy to know that I was correct!

You Will Need:
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 french baguette
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, minced

Here We Go:
Turn oven broiler on (500 degrees F)
Quarter tomatoes and add to mixing bowl












Mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and basil in another small bowl













Pour olive oil mixture over tomatoes
Stir in goat cheese with wooden spoon













Put bowl in fridge to chill
Slice baguette into 1/4 inch rounds (roughly 10 slices)













Place on baking sheet and broil in oven until browned
Top with chilled bruschetta mixture

Makes Roughly 10 Bruschetta
Happy Feasting!
