Strawberry Goat Cheese Bruschetta – Simple flavorful bruschetta made with fresh ingredients like goat cheese and strawberries. Appetizer ready in minutes for last minute guests.
This is my time of the year friends! I love me some good ole’ summer weather. And May was quite nice to us here in Pennsylvania. We had plenty of warm sunshiney weather. Yes, I just said sunshine-y. New word.
It was awesome. I’ve been wearing my flip-flops, my summery skirts and dreaming of strawberry season. And it’s here. We got to do our first picking this Saturday. We only picked 3 quarts but that’ quite alright because we’ll definitely be going back. Even Saturday in the hot mid 80s picking berries didn’t bother me a bit.
I’d rather be hot and sweaty then chilled to the bone. High 70’s, low 80’s year round….that’s my perfect weather!
Look how simple and fresh this is friends! 6 ingredients to a beautiful and amazing appetizers that everyone is sure to rave about! Well that’s if they’re strawberry fans. If not they oh well. That’s more for you then.
So of course as soon as the strawberries entered the house I needed to make like 6 different strawberry dishes. This strawberry bruschetta with goat cheese was one of them. I just adore goat cheese lately. Plain, herb or any other flavor I can get my lips on.
And lately I’ve been better about planning my posts a bit in advance. But this recipe got pushed to the front because I knew you’d love just as much as I did. Even my 3 kids inhaled it. And that is pretty awesome in my book.
