3Toast bread slices in the preheated oven until crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Let cool slightly.

5Broil in the preheated oven until goat cheese is lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

Cook's Notes:
Step 1 can be done up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated until ready to make bruschetta; bring to room temperature prior to assembly.
Toasting bread can be done in advance. Once slices are cooled, stored in a plastic bag until ready to assemble.
For smaller number of servings, topping freezes well and can be portioned out to fit your family size. Thaw completely and warm slightly prior to assembly.
