    WHY YOU'LL LOVE BLUEBERRY GOAT CHEESE TOAST

    Blueberry toast is such a flirty dish! From it's warmness, to it's savory notes from the prosciutto, and creamy tangy notes from the goat cheese, and nothing beats a giant drizzle of maple syrup to sweeten it up.

    If you love toast as much as I do, then you'll love this gourmet toast that's so versatile. My other favorites breads to make and toast are no-knead rosemary parmesan bread, tahini banana bread, and pumpkin bread with cardamom. My go-to seafood favorite is this canned sardines sandwich with a kick!

    You're going to love it the first time, and end up making it again, just like we did. I've had it as an appetizer for dinner and lunch. You can also serve it for brunch or even dessert! And, largely thanks to my sister-in-law for whipping this up as I coached her on what to do while on bed rest, this has easily become one of our family's go-to lunch that satisfies for hours.

    • Satisfies with a balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors
    • Easy to make and SO delicious
    • Perfect for a brunch
    • Can easily multiply for a crowd
    • Impresses guests
    • Healthy and nourishing
    • Family-friendly
    • Versatile and can be used for breakfast, brunch, lunch, appetizer, or dessert!

    blueberry toast with prosciutto and goat cheese and herbs

    I've been in a huge blueberry mood lately, since it's in season and my family love picking them fresh from a nearby farm.

    Fresh berries add the perfect sweet fruity taste plus the most vibrant color to any dish or drink. Like in some of my favorite drinks - blueberry lemon drop, blueberry gin cocktail, and this homemade blueberry vodka to add to any drink!

    So, let's get to making this decadent toast using my easy to follow step-by-step guide.

    ingredients for blueberry toast

    BLUEBERRY TOAST INGREDIENTS

    • sourdough bread
    • salted butter
    • goat cheese
    • fresh blueberries
    • maple syrup
    • prosciutto
    • extra virgin olive oil
    • fresh thyme
    • fresh mint

    HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY TOAST

    Set the oven to broil, and move the top rack about 10" away from the top.

    Start by layering each slice of sourdough with butter on both sides and lay them on a sheet pan.

    Place the sheet pan in the oven and watch closely as the bread toasts, this takes about 30-60 seconds. Once the top is toasted, remove them from the oven, flip each slice, and toast the other side.

    Set the oven to 375℉ degrees.

    Layer each slice of toast with an even amount of goat cheese.

    Top with a heavy drizzle of maple syrup. Then add the blueberries and top with torn prosciutto.

    Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil over each slice. Then, sprinkle with thyme.

    Bake for about 15-18 minutes, until the blueberries are completely warmed through and the prosciutto has started to crisp.

    EXPERT TIPS

    1. Soften the goat cheese slightly before spreading it on the toast. This is my number one best tip after making this recipe a couple of times. You can easily soften it by taking it out of the fridge 20 minutes before making the recipe.
    2. Toast the bread until golden brown. It's important to fully toast the bread to prevent it from getting soggy. Though over toasting it will make it hard to eat, so be sure to flip it as soon as you see it turn golden brown.
    3. Add a generous amount of goat cheese. This is where that beautifully tangy flavor comes in to balance out the savory and sweet of the other ingredients, and marries with the blueberries. Adding a good amount makes this blueberry toast come to life!
    4. Don't skip the maple syrup. Use honey if you need to, but be sure to add the sweetness!

    SERVING & PRESENTATION TIPS

    Presentation matters with this beautiful toast recipe.

    Add stems of herbs and fresh blueberries as garnish on the dish around the toast when serving. This makes it even more elegant.

    Serve directly on a plate, or lay all the toast slices on a large white platter then garnish with fresh blueberries and herbs to serve a crowd.

    STORAGE TIPS

    Store any leftover toast in an airtight container with a lid. Place parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking together.  

    HOW TO REHEAT

    Place blueberry toast in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, until it's warmed through. I don't recommend reheating in a microwave since it can get soggy.

    Another option is to air fry at 325 degrees for 2-3 minutes. 

    VARIATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

    I loved going with my cravings on this dish, because I got to add everything I wanted, no recipe in mind and boy did it turn out delicious! However, if you'd like to add different toppings or substitute any ingredient, here's a good list I recommend:

    Other Things To Add:

    • Pine nuts
    • Slivered almonds
    • Figs
    • Add other berries
    • Balsamic glaze

    To Substitute:

    • Use Ricotta on the toast instead of goat cheese.
    • You can substitute sourdough bread for any other slices bread: artisan, whole wheat, or white bread.
    • Salami instead of prosciutto.
    • Strawberries or blackberries instead of blueberries.
    • Honey instead of maple syrup.

    FEQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can you cook toast in the air fryer?

    Yes. It's incredibly easy to make toast in the air fryer. First, preheat the air fryer to 350F degrees. Spread butter on each slice of toast, layer on all the other ingredients and toast to your liking. Typically, to make the perfect toast with toppings on it, you'll need about 5 minutes. The bread comes out perfectly crispy and the toppings are warm and toasty!

    Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, you can use frozen blueberries if you're in a pinch. Thaw them before using them, and drain all excess liquid, to prevent moisture on the toast.

    Can I make it vegan?

    You can easily make this vegan by choosing a vegan cream cheese to use instead of goat cheese. Instead of butter, use your favorite vegan butter to toast the bread.

    Can I make blueberry toast for a crowd?

    Yes! You can absolutely make this recipe for a crowd. I actually made double the recipe with my sister-in-law in no time! All you need to do is buy double the ingredients, and make 2 sheet pans worth at the same time, following each step on both sheet pans. Once they're baked, keep the toast whole or cut them to suit your party.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS TOAST

    • Salad. Try this Fried Feta and Strawberry Salad alongside! It has fresh strawberries, fried feta, and a delicious sauce that ties it altogether!
    • Steak. We had our blueberry toast with steak, which was seriously amazing.
    • Chicken. A simple roasted chicken would be a great pairing.
