Yield Makes about 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 ounces fresh blueberries
1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices
5 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
Small fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Stir 1/2 cup sugar into the water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool completely. Pour the blueberries into sugar syrup and gently toss to coat. Pour the remaining 1 cup sugar into a medium bowl or dish. Remove the blueberries with a slotted spoon and let the excess sugar syrup drip off. Place the blueberries in the sugar and gently toss to lightly coat. Remove and place on a tray to dry for 1 hour.
  • Place slices of bread on a baking sheet and lightly toast. Spread goat cheese on top of toasts. Top with sugared blueberries and garnish with basil.
