Bruschetta with goat cheese and crispy ham
Recipe for bruschetta with goat cheese
These bruschetta with goat cheese work well as a a small aperitif before dinner, preferably with a glass of champagne or other bubbly. They also work well with other variations of bruschetta such as the classic with tomato, bruschetta with mushrooms or a version with oven-baked tomatoes and ricotta cream. They taste absolutely delicious with the combination of toasted bread, golden melted goat cheese, crispy ham, and a little sweet-and-sour balsamic. A small serving that's always a hit.

Goat cheese for bruschetta
For these small bruschetta with goat cheese, we recommend using a so-called "Goat Roll" - the ones you usually find from the Soignon brand. It is a matured goat cheese with white mold, which is shaped like a roll and can therefore be cut into fine slices. It has a characteristic goat flavor, which becomes a little milder and incredibly delicate when baked in the oven. Here, the cheese becomes crispy and golden on the surface and slightly melted and soft inside. If you don't like the characteristic taste of goat, we recommend replacing goat cheese with brie for this recipe. It works a bit the same way and also tastes incredibly delicious.
TIP: Also try this starter with beetroot and goat cheese, one pie with goat cheese and caramelized red onions and a wonderful eggplant salad with goat cheese.
Goat cheese bruschetta with crispy Italian ham
When it comes to the crispy ham, which is used as a topping over the goat cheese, we recommend using thinly sliced Italian air-cured ham. For example, prosciutto or Parma ham. The ham is placed on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, and then baked in the oven until the ham curls up slightly and becomes crunchy. It can then be broken into pieces to make small "ham chips". You can arrange them and almost stick them into the soft goat cheese. It will be both beautiful and incredibly delicious.
TIP: Also try the Italian classics like spaghetti bolognese, risotto and a good one lasagna.
