Zucchini & Goat’s cheese Bruschetta

When I have guests coming over, so often, I don’t feel like serving a traditional, plated starter. I prefer to serve ‘snacky’ foods that can be enjoyed with drinks. Bruschetta almost always pops up as it is such a fantastic way to showcase beautiful flavours while being easy to eat.

No plates or cutlery needed.   I just love the flavour of fresh, almost sweet zucchini with creamy, tangy goat’s cheese. You could toast the bread in advance and keep in an airtight container and the zucchini can be prepared up to 30 minutes in advance. Simply assemble and serve.
