As promised, I’m back to bestow one of my new favorite recipes onto you. Whipped goat cheese with warm vanilla berries on toast. I’ve posted a few recipes from Seriously Delish but this one is fantastic. I love recipes that look and taste like you’ve been slaving away in the kitchen but in reality, are quite simple. This is a perfect breakfast treat, especially when hosting.
What you’ll need:
6 oz goat cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled & quartered
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons waters
1 tablespoon honey
1 vanilla bean, split, with seeds scraped out
pinch of salt
4 thick slices whole-grain bread
fresh mint for garnish
The How To:
1. Add goat cheese to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Continue to blend for 1 minute. With the stream on, add the half-and-half and blend for another 1-2 minutes. Puree until creamy and no large crumbles remain, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add strawberries, blueberries, water, honey, the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean, the actual vanilla bean, and salt into a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until simmering, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook over low heat until the berries soften and become a bit syrupy, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat & discard the scraped vanilla bean.
3. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the whipped goat cheese onto each slice of toasted bread. Spoon the warm berries over the top and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
