Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Hi! Do y'all love bruschetta as much as I do? Not only is it yummy and fresh it is so easy to put together as a snack, appetizer, party plate, etc! A restaurant I go to pretty regularly serves bruschetta with a goat cheese spread and it is my absolute favorite, it's just as easy but adds so much flavor. I figured I'd make  my own version of it at home tonight so I could share with all of you, because seriously if you like goat cheese and haven't tried this combo you are seriously missing out.

I used a variety pack of small tomatoes to get the fun color assortment but that is totally not necessary, any good vine tomato, plum tomato or chopped cherry tomatoes would work! 
I'm not going to get really specific with quantities in this recipe, you can use your judgment to make as much as you'd like! 

You will need:

• French baguette, from your grocery store bakery
• Soft goat cheese
• Tomatos 
• Parsley or basil leaves (optional)
• Salt & Pepper
• Olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven on high broil setting. 
2. Slice baguette (as many slices as you want to make) into pieces about 1/4-1/2" thick, set on a baking sheet. 
3. Dice up tomatoes. Hint: after dicing them up pour into a colander over the sink and shake up a bit to get rid of all the extra juice. 
4. If you want to add parsley or basil finely chop up a little bit. 
5. Add tomato, herbs, a tsp splash of olive oil, salt & pepper to a bowl and stir up. Put in the fridge to chill while you broil the bread. 
6. Add bread to oven and broil for only 2-3 minutes!
7. Remove from oven, spread goat cheese on each slice, and add a spoonful of the tomato mix to each slice. 
8. Serve while bread is warm & tomatoes are chilled and enjoy!
