1 loaf French bread
In a medium-sized bowl, combine strawberries, peaches, and balsamic vinegar.
10 strawberries, 3 peaches, 2 tablespoons raspberry white balsamic vinegar
Spread cranberry goat cheese onto each slice of toast.
10.5 ounces cranberry goat cheese
With a slotted spoon, place fruit mixture on each piece of toasted bread.
Top with basil slices and serve.
1 cup fresh basil leaves
- Cut the bread on an angle to make longer, more oval-shaped pieces of bread. This makes slightly larger servings.
- Italian bread can be swapped for French bread.
- Marinate the topping ingredients for at least 10 mins, up to 30 mins.
- Top with fresh basil, either whole leaves or chiffonade slices.
- Serve immediately to avoid sogginess.
- Try mango, pineapple, or other berries instead. Different fruit combos work just as well.
- Cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and cottage cheese are other good alternatives if goat cheese not available. But they are not quite as tangy.
- Use vegan cheese to make this a complete vegan bruschetta recipe.
