Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Slice your bread, if you have not done so already; place them on a baking sheet which you have lined with aluminum foil (just in case something falls off and tries to burn).
- Place the bread under the broiler and toast until light golden; remove.
- Turn the bread over, place the bread under the broiler and toast just until the bread firms slightly but not golden yet; remove.
- Brush the lighter side with olive oil (you may decline this if you are using tomatoes packed in oil, but it's your choice).
- On top of that lay out some basil leaves to cover the top of the bread.
- Mince the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle on top of the basil; I use regular dried on mine that are still pliant like raisins; if yours are hard you may need to have soaked them in warm water in advance and squeezed dry then mince; but you can do that now, no biggie.
- On top of the tomatoes sprinkle a generous amount of goat cheese and tap down so it doesn't fall off.
- If you like you can add a pinch of sea salt but I didn't.
- Place the bruschettas under the broiler and toast just until the cheese starts to soften and the edges get nice and brown; serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet. Brush olive oil over both sides of bread. Bake bread until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Remove toasts from oven. Rub cut sides of garlic over toasts.
- Combine seeded plum tomatoes and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl. Season with generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss tomatoes to combine. (Toasts and tomatoes can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover separately and keep at room temperature.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread goat cheese over toasts; arrange on baking sheet. Mound tomatoes on toasts, dividing equally. Bake until heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer bruschetta to platter. Sprinkle with mint.
Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for your bruschetta. A sturdy bread like a baguette or ciabatta will hold up well to the toppings.
- Brush the bread with olive oil and toast it until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the topping. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces so that they are easy to eat.
- Use a soft, creamy goat cheese for the topping. Spread the goat cheese on the toasted bread before adding the tomatoes.
- Add some fresh herbs to the topping, such as basil, mint, or oregano. This will add flavor and color to the bruschetta.
- Drizzle the bruschetta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar before serving.
