Ingredients
- 1 small loaf 6-8 inches French bread, cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 10 ounces goat cheese
- 8 ounces low fat cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar use good quality
- 1 cup small yellow tomatoes
- 1 cup small orange tomatoes
- 1 cup small red tomatoes such as cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- SEE NOTES
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place the bread slices (or you can grill the bread if you prefer) and tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until toasted/burst.
- Remove and set aside.
- Heat balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and heat for 6-8 minutes or until reduced by about 1/3. You want it to be syrupy but not too thick.
- In a high powered blender or stand mixer, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and garlic powder. Cream until fully combined and smooth.
- To assemble the bruschetta, top each piece of bread with 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture, then top with all three kinds of tomatoes. Sprinkle with chopped basil and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
- Enjoy!
Notes
NOTES: If wanting to make the triple berry version, use blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries and omit garlic powder.
