Whipped Goat Cheese Bruschetta (Caprese and Triple Berry Versions!)

Whipped goat cheese bruschetta is one of my favorite beautiful and delicious appetizers. It’s so easy to make it sweet or savory with bruschetta caprese and triple berry versions. This is my favorite goat cheese appetizer recipe for any occasion!

A good bruschetta recipe is one of my very favorite things to make in a pinch, and this whipped goat cheese bruschetta is a favorite! The goat cheese is creamy, simple, delicious, and versatile. It pairs perfectly with both sweet or savory ingredients to make amazing flavor combinations with little to no effort. I’ve whipped up both triple berry and caprese versions, and just love them both. You’re in for a treat! 

What’s in This Goat Cheese Bruschetta Recipe?

• Bread: I have found that French bread is the perfect size for making crostini. I used a 6-inch loaf for this recipe and was able to make 12 crostini.
• Vinegar: Balsamic vinegar has the perfect level of sweetness and acidity to balance out the tangy goat cheese.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar sweetens the balsamic further and helps it thicken into a syrupy balsamic reduction.
• Goat Cheese: Is perfectly creamy and tangy!
• Cream Cheese: Low-fat cream cheese adds extra creaminess and tanginess to the spread.
• Tomatoes: I like rainbow cherry tomatoes for a pop of color!
• Garlic Powder: Adds a bit of savory flavor to the caprese version of these crostini. I recommend leaving it out if making the berry version.
• Basil: Adds a pop of color and fresh herbal flavor to the caprese version.
• Berries: I used a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to create the sweeter triple berry version!

How to Store

These whipped goat cheese bruschetta are best served right after making them, when the bread has been freshly toasted and is still warm. However, you can prepare the whipped goat cheese mixture and keep it in the fridge until ready to use it.

Serving Suggestions

These whipped goat cheese bruschetta are the perfect starter for any classic Italian meal. I like to serve them up with mozzarella stuffed meatballs, white chicken lasagna, or simple breaded chicken cutlets.
