Butternut Squash and Goat’s Cheese Bruschetta
This autumnal bruschetta number is perfect for weekend brunch. It also makes a great festive appetiser. It truly is the perfect balance of flavours and textures. The lightly spiced roasted vegetables pair so beautifully with the creamy tartness of the goat’s cheese, and the balsamic glaze and parsley add some much needed tang and freshness. Served over crisp, olive oil-toasted sourdough, it truly is a delightful dish.
