Bread
- 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
Toppings
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chiffonade
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces to create perfect-sized bruschetta slices.
- Toast the Bread: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast each baguette slice until it becomes golden brown and crisp, enhancing its texture and flavor.
- Spread Goat Cheese: Evenly spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each toasted baguette slice for a creamy base.
- Season: Lightly season the goat cheese with freshly ground black pepper to add a subtle spice.
- Add Toppings: Top each slice with fresh blueberries and chiffonade-cut basil leaves, providing vibrant color and fresh herbal notes.
- Drizzle with Honey: Finish each bruschetta with a generous drizzle of honey and a light sprinkle of salt to balance sweetness and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the bruschetta while the bread is still crisp and the toppings are fresh for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For a variation, consider swapping goat cheese with ricotta or cream cheese.
- To toast the bread evenly, flip the slices halfway through cooking.
- This appetizer is best served immediately to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- Adjust honey and salt to taste depending on sweetness preference.
