Summer is definitely my favorite fruit season and the best time to grill! This summer bruschetta recipe with goat cheese is cooked on the grill and topped with one of the most delicious summer fruits – black velvet apricots! You can cook it on the outdoor grill or a grill pan. Both options work perfect.
Summer’s most unique varieties of stone fruit are now available at Sprouts! This season, you’ll find there delectably sweet peaches and vibrant black plums. Plus, you can explore a few unique varieties too, like plumsicles and pluots! For this recipe I used Black Velvet Apricots. It’s a cross between an apricot and a plum, they offer a succulent and sweet flesh – perfect for snacking, marmalades and baked goods. Shopping for produce at Sprouts is my favorite because everything is always fresh and affordable!
WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA INGREDIENTS
Sourdough loaf or french baguette, sliced
Black velvet apricots
Goat cheese – make sure soften it in a room temperature for at least a couple of hours or a bowl of warm water for about 35 minutes.
Milk – you can use cow, goat or plant-based milk.
Lemon, zested
Basil leaves – for garnish
Extra virgin olive oil – brush the apricots before grilling. The oil will help keep the apricots from getting stuck to the grill grates, so be sure they are completely covered
Honey – for drizzling
