Sweet, savory, tangy, crisp, and creamy perfectly describes Grilled Peach Bruschetta. Slices of crusty, toasted baguette are topped with goat cheese, peaches, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

This easy Grilled Peach Bruschetta is a deliciously simple appetizer or snack.

My husband and I love to cook and entertain. But, one key to successfully entertaining, even if you enjoy cooking, is to keep it simple. At least, keep most recipes simple and choose one star of the meal. For this reason, I have a handful of favorite and easy appetizer, side, and dessert recipes. We tend to let the entree be the harder recipe.

During the summer, I incorporate fresh produce whenever I can and Grilled Peach Bruschetta is always a popular appetizer to serve. It’s quick, easy, bright, and light.

Grilled Peach Bruschetta Tips

1. Slice your baguette either in round or diagonal slices. They need to be small.
2. You can toast them in the oven or grill it. However, I prefer it browned in a skillet on the stove.
3. This Grilled Peach Bruschetta is tasty with either basil or mint.
4. As well, fresh mozzarella is a great substitute for goat cheese. If you really want to get crazy use blue cheese!
5. The combination of honey and balsamic reduction make a nice sweet, tangy combination. You can use one or both.
