FAQs

Can I use green kiwi instead of golden?

Yes, but green kiwi is more tart. Golden kiwi offers a milder, sweeter flavor.

What type of bread works best?

A crusty baguette or artisan loaf with a firm crumb holds up well to toppings.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can toast the bread and prep the toppings in advance, but assemble just before serving.

What kind of feta should I use?

Block feta crumbled by hand has the best texture and flavor compared to pre-crumbled versions.

Is this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, it contains no meat or animal rennet ingredients.

Can I use frozen fruit?

Fresh fruit is recommended for the best texture, but thawed and well-drained frozen fruit can work in a pinch.

What’s a good drizzle alternative to honey?

Balsamic glaze adds a tangy-sweet contrast that pairs beautifully with the fruit and cheese.

How can I make this dairy-free?

Use a plant-based feta-style cheese or a whipped cashew cheese spread.

Can I serve this as a dessert?

Yes! Leave off the salt and pepper, and drizzle with honey for a sweeter version.

What herbs pair well with this bruschetta?

Fresh mint and basil both complement the fruit and feta beautifully.
