Goat cheese and blueberry balsamic dip
This is such a great combo, the creamy cheese and the sweet and tangy blueberries! Plus, it's so simple to assemble.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups blueberries you can use fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic or other balsamic of choice
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 ounces goat cheese
Instructions
- Mix the blueberries, honey, and balsamic vinegar together in a pan. Heat over low heat until it is reduced. Mine took about 8 minutes. Set aside and let cool slightly.
- Mix cream cheese and goat cheese on high until light and fluffy.
- Prepare the appetizer by smearing the goat cheese on the bottom of your plate. Top with the blueberries. We ate our's with a whole-wheat cracker, but you can serve with whatever you choose, bread, etc.
Notes
- This appetizer is best eaten right away. If you are trying to prep things before a get-together, I would say mix your goat cheese mixture and make the blueberry reduction. At the last minute, put them together.
- If you are using frozen blueberries, just know that it might take a little longer to make your reduction. It will need to thaw, then cook, then reduce. It doesn't take too much longer, but just know it will take a little longer.
- If you are wondering what a reduction is, let me tell you. It is a fruit mixture that has been cooked to reduce and thicken it. You do this to create thick sauces that are a more compact flavor. It is a simple process and one I love to use!
- If you don't eat all of this at once, it will still stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container, but it will be good. I mean, it will be ugly, but it will be good.
