Ingredients

  • 16 ounces goat cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice from half a lemon
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 6-10 basil leaves rough chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the blueberries, thyme, 1/4 tsp of the salt and 1/4 cup of water in a small saucepan. Simmer on medium for about 10 minutes. The berries will have bursted but should still retain their shape and the sauce should be thickened. Turn off the heat and add the fresh lemon juice, honey, black pepper and fresh basil. Pour in a bowl and refrigerate to chill.
    Place the softened goat cheese, cream and the rest of the salt in a food processor and whip for about 30 seconds until very smooth. Spoon the cheese into a bowl and spread out with the back of a spoon or rubber spatula.
    Pour the chilled blueberry sauce onto the goat cheese. Serve with toast points.
