What is bruschetta?

Traditional bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy, consisting of grilled bread with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. This recipe for fruit bruschetta plays on the traditional version, but with a fruity summer twist. Toasted bread is topped with goat cheese and fresh fruit.

Bruschetta is correctly pronounced with the Italian flair: broos-KETTA. Although the Americanized version often sounds more like: brush-ETTA.

Ingredients For Fruit Bruschetta

Bread loaf: I use french bread in my recipe. It is sturdy enough to hold all the toppings without getting soggy. Cut into thin slices. Italian bread is another alternative if it is not available.
Strawberries: This is a great time to use those fresh strawberries! Cut berries into small pieces.
Peaches: Slice into small pieces. You can also grill the peaches before slicing. Grilled peaches taste sweeter with their caramelized flavor.
Goat Cheese: I used cranberry goat cheese to add another fruity twist to this bruschetta. But regular goat cheese is just fine.
Balsamic Vinegar: I used raspberry white balsamic vinegar, but regular balsamic vinegar works too.
Basil Leaves: Fresh basil works much better than dried, and it looks great too!

How do I chiffonade basil?

Those thin little slices of basil are called chiffonade, and it’s really easy to do. Make a stack of several basil leaves and roll them up like a cigar. Cut thin slices across the leaves and then unroll for beautiful basil chiffonade!

Tips For Success

Different fruit combos work just as well. Try mango, pineapple, or other berries instead.
I recommend using French bread or Italian bread. Something sturdy that will hold up under toppings!
Goat cheese is perfect for this bruschetta. It has the best flavor and goes well with fresh fruit. Cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and cottage cheese are other good substitute but they are not quite as tangy.
Cut the bread on an angle to make longer, more oval-shaped pieces of bread. This makes slightly larger servings.
You can grill the bread slices instead of toasting in the oven. Perfect for summer cookouts!
Marinate the topping ingredients for at least 10 minutes for best flavor.
Serve fruit topped bruschetta immediately to avoid sogginess.
You can even use vegan cheese to make this a complete vegan bruschetta recipe.

How to Store

This strawberry peach bruschetta with goat cheese is best made and served fresh, or else it will start to get soggy. However, you can mix up the fruit and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Do not add cheese or vinegar while storing fruits.

5-Star Review

“I made this last night and it was the moistest chicken we’ve ever had. A bit of crispy and the flavor was wonderful. I didn’t have buttermilk and did add lemon juice to 1% milk. I am making it again today. Thank you for this recipe.” – Dawn
