Blueberry toast is a simple, elegant breakfast or brunch that highlights the flavor of blueberries. A luscious, whipped ricotta-goat cheese spread perfectly complements the sweetness of a blueberry compote.

Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 4 oz soft goat cheese
- 4 oz whole milk ricotta
- 6-8 slices crusty bread
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- t tbs lemon juice
- 6-8 sprigs thyme
- 1 tbsp milk whole, 2% or 1%
- t tbsp salted butter
Instructions
- Remove the goat cheese and ricotta from the fridge to allow them to warm up while you make the compote and toast.
- Wash and dry 2 cups of blueberries, if using fresh. You do not need to thaw blueberries if they are frozen.
- Place 2 cups blueberries, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ¼ cup honey, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.
- Cook blueberries over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until they begin to release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Allow a few extra minutes of cooking time if using frozen. Remove blueberries from heat and allow to cool.
- Turn on your oven to the broil setting. Place 6-8 slices of crusty bread on a baking sheet and put under the broiler.
- Broil for 2 minutes or when they have reached your desired level of toastiness.
- Flip the toasts and allow the second side to brown to your desired level of toastiness before removing them from the oven.
- Place 4oz goat cheese, 4oz ricotta, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest in a bowl. Whip cheeses until light, airy, and spreadable, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spread salted butter on each slice of toast.
- Spread 2-3 tablespoons of whipped ricotta-goat cheese spread on each slice of toast.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of blueberry compote over whipped ricotta-goat cheese spread.
- Garnish with thyme leaves, lemon zest, and a drizzle of honey, to taste.
