This is, hands down, our favorite appetizer. I find myself looking for reasons to make it. It's so delicious! The tangy goat cheese, salty capers, hint of balsamic, garlic.....so good. Don't wait for a party or special occasion to make this. Lunch or dinner is reason enough!
Goat Cheese Bruschetta
Ingredients:
1lb tomatoes, seeded, cored, and diced
3.5 oz capers, drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp Olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 loaf French or Italian bread
1 large clove garlic
3-4 ounces goat cheese
3-4 ounces goat cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions:
1. Combine the tomatoes, capers, minced garlic, basil, 1 tbsp olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Mix well, cover, and set aside.
2. Heat oven to 375. Slice the bread into 1/2 inch slices on a diagonal and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with olive oil and bake until just beginning to toast and brown - 10-15 minutes. Remove bread from the oven and cut 1/4 inch off the top of a large garlic clove. Rub the cut end of the garlic on each piece of bread. Then, spread a layer of goat cheese over each slice, top with tomato mixture, and sprinkle with parmesan.

3. Return the bread to the oven and bake until parmesan melts, about 5 minutes. Remove, serve, and enjoy!
