This blueberry goat cheese appetizer is easy to make and full of tangy berry flavor! Use it as a dip for crackers, crostini or bread.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 10 ounces goat cheese log
  • 10 tablespoons blueberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or thyme
  • Crostini, bread or crackers, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the blueberries, sugar, and ¼ cup water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a low boil, then cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the blueberries begin to break down, mashing them with a wooden spoon. Make sure not to let the pot boil over.

  2. 2

    Place the cornstarch in a small bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons water. Add it to the sauce and simmer for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and salt. The sauce will thicken even more as it cools. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving (store up to 1 week refrigerated).

  4. 4

    When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Spread 1/2 cup of the blueberry sauce in a small baking dish. Add the goat cheese log. Top with 2 tablespoons of the blueberry sauce. Bake for 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove the dish from the oven and top with fresh mint or thyme. Use as a dip for crostini, bread, or crackers.
