Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Topping

  • 1 large baguette (about 24 slices, each 2/3 inch thick)
  • 4 peaches (halved, pits removed, then diced into 1/4 inch pieces)
  • 1/3 cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil (thinly sliced or julienned)

Cheese and Dressing

  • 4 ounces plain chevre goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Toast the Baguette: Slice the baguette into 24 slices, about 2/3 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a sheet pan and place them under a broiler set to high heat. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes until the bread begins to lightly brown, watching carefully to avoid burning. Remove from oven and let cool.
  2. Prepare the Peach Mixture: Chop the peaches into small, bite-sized pieces approximately 1/4 inch. Combine the diced peaches with finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and thinly sliced fresh basil in a large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to blend all the fresh flavors.
  3. Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese evenly on each toasted baguette slice. Top each with approximately 1 tablespoon of the prepared peach mixture, evenly distributing the topping.
  4. Finish and Serve: Drizzle each bruschetta toast with a little extra virgin olive oil and honey for added richness and sweetness. Serve immediately at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Be sure to monitor the bread closely while broiling to prevent burning.
  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
  • Fresh basil adds the best flavor; avoid dried basil for this recipe.
  • This recipe can be made a few hours ahead by prepping the peach mixture and toasting the bread separately; assemble just before serving.
  • For a vegan version, substitute goat cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use agave syrup instead of honey.
