Lately we’ve had a lot of people asking us for easy appetizer recipes that they can bring to the many summer backyard parties that are popping up everywhere. Well, I’ve got something pretty spectacular. I’m excited to bring you these Basil and Balsamic Peach Bruschetta in collaboration with our partner Queen Creek Olive Mill! (EXCITEMENT alert! Enter to win our really fun *GIVEAWAY*! Make sure you read all the way to the bottom for details!)
Summer, I just can’t get enough of you! Your warm nights. Your bright sun. Your amazing ripe fruits and vegetables!!
And in the summer, I like my food to taste fresh and simple. And to go well with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. After all, a girl has to have priorities…
And I have peaches on the brain!
These Basil and Balsamic Peach Bruschetta are fresh, simple, and pair perfectly with a cool glass of white wine. Juicy grilled peaches, tangy goat cheese whipped with honey and Queen Creek Olive Mills’s Peach White Balsamic Reduction, all finished off with a sprinkle of fresh basil from the garden.
Wouldn’t you want to see this bruschetta at your next backyard barbecue?
Basil and Balsamic Peach Bruschetta
The perfect summer appetizer!
Ingredients
- 15 slices french bread (approximately 1/2 loaf)
- 3 peaches, sliced into wedges (at least 15 wedges)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (we use olive oil from Queen Creek Olive Mill)
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Peach White Balsamic Reduction from Queen Creek Olive Mill (plus additional for drizzle)
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
Instructions
-
Brush peach wedges with olive oil to keep them from sticking to the grill. Brush one side of each piece of bread with olive oil.
-
Heat grill. Grill peaches over direct heat for 3-4 minutes until soft. Place oiled side of bread onto grill grate and grill over direct heat for approximately 30 seconds or until grill marks appear. Remove peaches and bread to a plate and set aside.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine goat cheese, Peach White Balsamic Reduction, honey, and salt. Mix with paddle attachment for 30 seconds or until well combined and fluffy.
-
Place grilled bread onto a serving platter, grill marks up. Spread with goat cheese mixer. Sprinkle with torn basil leaves. Place a grilled peach wedge on each slice of bread. Drizzle with additional Peach White Balsamic Reduction.
-
Serve while warm.

I am obsessed with peaches right now and totally want to make this and keep it all to myself. And I definitely need that balsamic reduction – heading over to check out the giveaway!
The Peach White Balsamic Reduction is crazy good! Head over and enter!
I wish I live in US then I could win those balsamic 😀 Sound delicious and Yes, I would love to make this for my next BBQ. What else can be used? just balsamic?
You could try any white balsamic and cook it down a little to make a reduction. Or if you wanted to be fancier, you could make the reduction and throw in a little peach puree. YUM!
I love a good balsamic to go with beads. This just looks incredible!
Thank you!! 🙂
This is such a creative idea!! Never in a million years would I have thought to make peach bruschetta. Two different friends have given me peaches and they have been SO juicy. I’ll have to give this a try!!!
You’ll love it. Quick and easy!
I love bruschetta and I love the peaches in this recipe! Right now is a great time for peaches and I’m always looking for yummy ways to use them!
We are all about the peaches right now!
I looooove peaches – this looks so super tasty! I’ve never seen that reduction before, I am definitely going to look for it next time I go shopping!
You can order it through Queen Creek Olive Mill! They have delicious products and will ship anywhere!
Love grilled peaches. Never tried them over bruschetta but the flavor combo sounds amazing! Would this work if you broiled the peaches?
I haven’t tried it but I bet it would work just fine!
