Goat Cheese Crostini with Balsamic Grape Tomatoes
Grape tomatoes sautéed with garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar nestled in creamy, tangy goat cheese atop toasted crostini – these Goat Cheese Crostini with Balsamic Grape Tomatoes make the ultimate appetizer!
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- salt & pepper to taste
- 4-5 ounces plain goat cheese
- sliced bread baguette or French bread
Instructions
- Add olive oil and tomatoes to a skillet and sauté over medium heat for about 20-22 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the tomatoes start to pop and break down, add the garlic and balsamic vinegar. Cook for a couple minutes, until the garlic has softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If using untoasted bread, spread goat cheese on each crostini and top with some of the balsamic tomato mixture. I like to crack some fresh pepper on top. Enjoy!
- If using toasted bread, add your bread slices to a broiler and broil for a minute or two, watching that it doesn't burn. Spread goat cheese on each crostini and top with some of the balsamic tomato mixture. I like to crack some fresh pepper on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cherry tomatoes may be substituted for grape tomatoes, but they do contain more water and have thinner skins, so keep that in mind.
- I have my crostini loaded to the max with tomatoes in the pictures because it looks so pretty, but you can definitely dial it down with as much tomato mixture as you want.
