Creamy Goat Cheese Bruschetta, goat cheese, and cottage cheese blended together, smeared on a toasted baguette and topped with tomatoes.
A yummy appetizer or side dish!
It’s no secret that I love small bites. I love mini desserts and appetizers. Something about just a few bites of something, especially when eaten with the hands just draws me in! I’m constantly coming up with new ideas and bruschetta is one dish that I keep making over and over in different variations!
I have already posted a traditional brushetta with garlic crostini and whipped feta bruchetta with grilled crostini! Don’t forget about those cute creamy brushetta bites or blueberry and honey dessert bruschetta as well, I know, it’s an obsession! (How many times can I say “bruschetta” in one paragraph?! lol)
All this month, I will be sharing one appetizer a week! I’m so obsessed, I constantly have ideas and I think summer is such a great time to eat lighter, and having small bites is the perfect solution!
Now for the recipe!

Yumm, so simple and delicious!
You can also use the spread as a dip for veggies, it is super versatile! Also, changing up the herbs for different meals is a great option too! Chopped rosemary and thyme, topped with thinly sliced flank steak and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar would be a super fancy (yet simple!) app at your next get together!
