This margarita is made to perfection by the tequila’s inherent smokiness and the bittersweet bitterness of the blood orange.

No one really liked this. It’s really plain and missing something and I feel like the flavors don’t compliment each other. I drizzled honey over it and while this made it slightly better it was still not good. I ended up throwing away half of it since no one ate it.
One of my favorites! I drizzle honey on top for the perfect finishing touch. Great for breakfast too.
Fast, easy and yummy!
I enjoyed this so much I made it two weeks in a row. Great way to use those fresh herbs from the garden. Instead of chopping the apple, I made thin slices to go on top of the bread then spread the goat cheese on the apple slice.
Different but very tasty. Along with a bit of honey, I added some crushed peanuts that gave it a nice texture and taste!
Great recipe. I (at least) doubled the cheese and used a very small Apple,chopped pretty small. I heated the dish itself until the cheese was a bit bubbly,allowing people to serve themselves. Pairs very well with wine! Will use over and over again!
Tasty combination I made some with the Brie and some with jalepano goat cheese everyone loved them.They are delicious with the honey drizzled on them as we’ll will make them again .
Simple, fresh and delicious! We used the grill, grilling both sides (took just two minutes per side) for beautiful grill marks. Then placed bread on pan and added tomato mixture. Followed the rest of recipe except to omit the garlic (I can’t eat it raw). Very yummy. The tomato mixture is also great on top of chicken parmesan. It was beautiful and elevated the dinner to restaurant quality.
I really enjoyed these, but my husband did not like the apple/thyme combination. I used dry herbs and also drizzled honey on top right before serving. Delicious.
I think I could give it a better rating if I didn’t toast the bread QUITE so hard… it got a little difficult to chew. The flavour was five-star excellent!!
I just made this and yummmyyyy. Just cut an apple into small pieces, added goat cheese mixed with dry thyme and oregano (I did not have any fresh) and baked it (did not even put on bread). Really good, I will be making these for my daughters first birthday buffet since it was still yummy once it was cold.
This is definitely a keeper. I kept all the ingredients the same, but spread the goat cheese on the bread first and then topped with the apple mixture. Stuck it in the oven for a couple of minutes and it came out perfectly. I can’t wait to make it again for Christmas!
Delicious! I doubled the amount of goat cheese and seasonings because I had a large amount of apple and bread.
These went fast at a dinner party! My husband was hesitant (since it wasn’t your typical meat, cheese or potatoes) but devoured them. I used Jimmy Johns french bread… cheap, fresh, and yummy.
So good! Added honey and that took it to the flavor I was looking for. Just drizzled a little over the top. My boyfriend thought this was OK, not great like me and my friend did. He thought there was too much of an herby taste, but we also didn’t use fresh so maybe we’ll cut back on the dried herbs next time. Overall, this is very easy and delicious, can’t beat that!
Seemed to be missing a little something. Delicious when drizzled with honey! Used more goat cheese than called for.

Absolutely delicious. The sweet apple contrasts perfectly with the tangy goat cheese.
Delish! I was making a pork stew for dinner guests and needed a good appetizer. This was perfect as the stew is made with apple cider and I serve it with diced apple and goat cheese for toppings. For the bruschetta I didn’t have oregano so I used fresh basil. I had a bit of the cheese/apple mix left over so I used it the next day on wheat crackers. Loved it – thank you!
Wow! Sooo easy and something different to serve as a quick appetizer. My guests loved it. Will be on my “go to” list, especially in the fall with fresh apples.
I found the flavor combination odd. Didn’t care for the black pepper with the apple. I used Brie but I really don’t think I would feel any different had I used goat cheese. I like the idea of using apples in bruschetta but this is just not what I was looking for.
