Tips & Variations

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Fresh peaches work best for texture and sweetness. If using frozen, thaw and pat dry thoroughly to avoid soggy bruschetta.

What kind of goat cheese should I use?

Soft, spreadable goat cheese is ideal as it’s easy to layer and blends nicely with the juicy peaches. If the cheese is too firm, let it come to room temperature before spreading.
