Whether you enjoy it as antipasto or along side a succulent piece of grilled chicken, you won’t want to miss this Grill Season treat that takes Bruschetta to the next level!

Bruschetta is an Italian antipasto that consists of grilled bread with garlic, olive oil, and salt.  There are unlimited options for topping brushetta and crostini.  My Grilled Goat Cheese Bruschetta version came about several summers ago when my garden was overflowing with tomatoes and herbs and I needed something new to temp the family.  Also, I was craving my one of my favorite pizzas that has roasted garlic cloves, kalamata olives, and little dabs of goat cheese…..so good!

It’s simple to prepare, is versatile enough to be an appetizer, side dish, or even a meatless main.  It’s as gorgeous to look at as it is to eat and the combination of flavors, especially when cooked on the grill, will wow your guests or your family.

How to make Grilled Goat Cheese Bruschetta

The Tomato, Kalamata Olive, and Herb salad comes together easily with the diced tomato of your choice, kalamata olives, shallot, garlic, Italian flat leaf parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.  This can marinate on the counter while preparing the remainder of the meal.

The toasts are made by slicing a French baguette in 1/2″ slices.  Brush both sides with olive oil that has minced garlic, salt, and pepper mixed in in.

Grill the bread slices briefly over the flame, flipping once until toasted on both sides.

Arrange the toasts single layer on a cookie sheet and spread about 2 teaspoons of goat cheese on each piece.  Place the whole cookie sheet on the grill and close the lid for about 2 minutes.  The goat cheese will soften and melt slightly.

Immediately top the warm toasts with the Tomato, Kalamata Olive, and Herb Salad and serve.

Can I make Goat Cheese Bruschetta without a grill?

Absolutly!  Simply toast the french bread slices on a cookie sheet under the broiler.  After you spread the goat cheese on the toasts, put them back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to soften and melt the cheese.  Top with your tomato salad and serve!

This particular night we had Grilled Goat Cheese Bruschetta with a slow-roasted, spice rubbed grilled chicken that cooked for about an hour on indirect heat while I prepped the Bruschetta.
