Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices

2 cups fresh blueberries

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

8 ounces creamy goat cheese, softened

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tablespoon dried thyme)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Microgreens or additional thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Balsamic Reduction: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it reduces by half and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and let it cool.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush one side lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

      Sauté the Blueberries: While the bread is toasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh blueberries and sauté them gently for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and half of the fresh thyme (or dried thyme). Stir until combined and remove from heat.

        Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of softened goat cheese on each slice. Top with a spoonful of the sautéed blueberries and a drizzle of the balsamic reduction.

          Garnish and Serve: Finally, sprinkle the remaining thyme over the top and add microgreens if desired. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.
