Ingredients:

• 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain works well)
• 4 oz (about 113g) goat cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons honey
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Toast the Bread:
• Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or a regular oven.
2. Mash Blueberries into Goat Cheese:

3. Spread Blueberry Goat Cheese Mixture:
• Spread a generous layer of the mashed blueberry and goat cheese mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
4. Drizzle with Honey:
• Drizzle honey over the blueberry and goat cheese mixture on each slice. The honey adds a touch of sweetness that complements both the tartness of the blueberries and the savory goat cheese.
5. Garnish (Optional):
• For an extra burst of flavor and freshness, garnish your Goat Cheese Blueberry Toast with fresh mint leaves. The mint adds a delightful herbal note that enhances the overall experience.
6. Optional Balsamic Glaze:
• If you want to add a sophisticated touch, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top. The balsamic glaze adds a slightly tangy and sweet element that elevates the flavor profile.
