Description

Ingredients

• 1 small loaf (6-8 inches) French bread, cut into 1/2 inch slices
• 10 ounces goat cheese
• 8 ounces low fat cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar (use good quality)
• 1 cup small yellow tomatoes
• 1 cup small orange tomatoes
• 1 cup small red tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Place the bread slices (or you can grill the bread if you prefer) and tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until toasted/burst.
• Remove and set aside.
• Heat balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and heat for 6-8 minutes or until reduced by about 1/3. You want it to be syrupy but not too thick.
• In a high powered blender or stand mixer, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and garlic powder. Cream until fully combined and smooth.
• To assemble the bruschetta, top each piece of bread with 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture, then top with all three kinds of tomatoes. Sprinkle with chopped basil and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
• Enjoy!
