Ingredients
Toast
- 6 slices whole wheat bread If your bread slices are especially large, use 4 slices.
Whipped Cream Cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 tbsp honey
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Blueberry Compote
- 1½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- zest of ½ a lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry compote by adding 1 cup blueberries along with remaining compote ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to ensure the compote doesn’t burn.
- Reduce heat and simmer until the blueberries are cooked and the sauce has thickened. This may take between 4-6 minutes.
- When compote has thickened remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- While the compote is cooling prepare the whipped cream cheese by adding all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until well combined and smooth. Alternatively you can add the cream cheese ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Toast the sliced whole wheat bread in a toaster or in the oven until golden brown.
- Evenly divide the whipped cream cheese and blueberry compote between the toasted bread.
- Top with remaining fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Blueberry compote and whipped cream cheese can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Serve blueberry toast immediately as the toast will begin to become soggy after 10 minutes.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used for this recipes. Do not defrost frozen berries before making the compote.
- Gluten free bread works well in this recipe, as does sourdough, rye or even multigrain bread.
- As the blueberries cook use a spatula or spoon to gently press the berries to release the juice. If you prefer a smooth compote add the cooked compote to a food processor and blend.
