Mix the goat cheese: Goat cheese is softened and then mixed with honey for the perfect base of this summer appetizer.

Make the crostini: Toast slices of baguette that have been drizzled with olive oil as the best vehicle for the blueberry-goat cheese appetizer. Or, use your favourite crackers to save even more time.

Ingredients

• 1 baguette or crackers
• olive oil
• 1 cup fresh blueberries plus extra for garnish
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 200-225g softened goat cheese about 8 oz goat cheese
• 1 tbsp honey
• fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

1. Add blueberries, 2 tbsp honey and balsamic vinegar to a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, about 5-7 minutes until blueberries start to burst. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. If you want the blueberries to cool faster, put the mixture in the fridge.

2. Pre-heat the oven to a low broil. Slice half the baguette into about 1/2 inch slices and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and broil on low for 2-4 minutes until just crisp. Set aside.

3. Stir the softened goat cheese and 1 tbsp honey together. Then spread the goat cheese mixture on a plate or in a shallow bowl.

4. Finish the plate by spooning the cooled blueberry mixture on top of the goat cheese. Top with a few extra blueberries and fresh thyme sprigs. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.

5. Serve with crostini or crackers.

This appetizer is so easy to make and you can even switch up the fruit to make it more versatile.

Fruit Variation Ideas

• Strawberries: Use my 4 Ingredient Strawberry Jam recipe instead of the blueberry mixture.
• Plums: Try my Easy Plum Jam recipe as a topping to the goat cheese.
• Apricots: Easily another summer favourite, my 4 Ingredient Apricot Jam would be divine with the goat cheese too.
