I made this Creamy Bruschetta appetizer for the first time about 12 years ago. I was hosting a baby shower for a friend, and I was itching to show off my culinary skill. Everyone loved it and raved about it…but as my friend likes to point out to this day, she’s not a fan of tomato so she was less than thrilled!

I’ve only made it a few times since, and I lost the recipe years ago. I’ve been searching for something similar but for the life of me I couldn’t find anything that sounded like the recipe I’d made so many years ago. I figured it was high time I created it myself.

If you are a fan of Bruschetta, you’re going to love this. The base is a crunchy piece of crostini (which is basically just a skinny french loaf cut into thin slices and baked until it’s nice and crispy – super easy). The next layer is the creamy layer. The best layer in my opinion! It’s got cream cheese, goat cheese and Parmesan cheese. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese (what??) you can replace it with feta or more cream cheese. The third layer cuts all the creaminess of the cheese with a little acid from the tomatoes and the earthy freshness of the basil. The final layer (I told you there were a lot of layers!) is just a little drizzle of balsamic glaze. You can make your own pretty easily if you want, but I just keep a bottle of glaze in my pantry to save time.

    Honestly one of the best… goat cheese and bruschetta doesn’t get any better!!! I do wonder if I can make ahead and assemble before eating? Please let me know if you have tried this before

    1. Kristin Maxwell says:

      Hi Arionne, you can make the cheese and store it, the tomato mixture and store it up to a day in advance. Store everything separately and assemble when you’re ready to serve.
