Summer Fruit Bruschetta Appetizer
This peach and strawberry bruschetta is a delicious, fresh, and fruity appetizer just perfect for summer! The tangy goat cheese and balsamic vinegar complements the fresh fruit so well. Just because so many warm-weather get-togethers are outside doesn’t mean you can’t bring something beautiful and elegant to the party! I especially love food that is beautiful and elegant while still being incredibly simple. This summer fruit bruschetta will brighten any table and is an easy party appetizer for a crowd. Be sure to try our Creamy Artichoke Bruschetta and Whipped Goat Cheese Bruschetta.
Ingredients
French Bread: Cut into thin slices. Strawberries: This is a great time to use those fresh strawberries! Cut berries into small pieces. Peaches: Slice into small pieces. Goat Cheese: I used cranberry goat cheese to add another fruity twist to this bruschetta. But regular goat cheese is fine. Balsamic Vinegar: I used raspberry white balsamic vinegar, but regular balsamic vinegar works too. Basil Leaves: Fresh basil works much better than dried, and it looks great too!

The Perfect Fruity Bruschetta Topping
Peach and strawberry bruschetta creates a beautiful and delicious dish. For the most flavorful results, combine the ingredients for the topping at least 30 minutes before you plan on serving the bruschetta. Allowing the flavors to marinate makes a huge difference in the flavor!
What is bruschetta?
Traditional bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy, consisting of grilled bread with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. This recipe for peach and strawberry bruschetta plays on the traditional version, but with a a fruity summer twist. Toasted bread is topped with goat cheese and fresh fruit. Bruschetta is correctly pronounced with the Italian flair: broos-KETTA. Although the Americanized version often sounds more like: brush-ETTA.
What’s the best balsamic for fruit bruschetta?
I used a raspberry white balsamic vinegar to add another twist to this fruity appetizer. It’s delicate, delicious and makes the perfect complement to the peach and strawberry. But don’t worry, if you don’t have this specific type, you can use any balsamic: white, brown, aged or even a balsamic glaze.
How do I cut chiffonade basil?
Those thin little slices of basil are called chiffonade, and it’s really easy to do. Make a stack of several basil leaves and roll them up like a cigar. Cut thin slices across the leaves and then unroll for beautiful basil chiffonade!
