This dish is sensational. Make it ahead and keep it ready for the exact moment that unexpected company comes over. Sharp, tangy goat cheese melds perfectly with sweet, succulent blueberries, and everything is rounded out by a spike of fresh herbs and floral honey.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. goat cheese
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbs fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat add blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and salt. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until blueberries begin to burst.

Turn off heat and mash blueberries until a thick sauce forms. Add vanilla extract and stir. Add goat cheese in pieces and stir to just combine.
