How to make a simple blueberry goat cheese appetizer
Cook the blueberries: Fresh blueberries are cooked down with honey and a bit of balsamic vinegar for a divine mix of flavours.
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.

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.

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

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.
