Ingredients
Blueberry Mixture
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 teaspoons honey (add an extra teaspoon if blueberries aren’t very sweet)
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 scant teaspoon crushed rosemary
Cheese Mixture
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
To Serve
- 1 loaf crusty French bread
Instructions
- Simmer Blueberries: Add the blueberries to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rosemary, honey, salt, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens slightly and the flavors meld.
- Whip Cheeses: While the blueberries cook, combine the goat cheese and cream cheese in a small bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat them together until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the whipped cheese mixture evenly over a small serving plate. Allow the blueberry mixture to cool for a few minutes, then spoon it generously over the cheese layer.
- Serve: Present the dip with slices of crusty French bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy immediately or chilled.
Notes
- If guests may not prefer goat cheese, substitute with more cream cheese or use plain whipped cream cheese alone.
- Adjust honey quantity based on the sweetness of the blueberries used.
- Allow the blueberry mixture to cool slightly before placing on cheese to prevent melting.
- This appetizer is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours before serving.
