Makes about 10

Ingredients

1 cup water

1 1/2 cups sugar

6 ounces fresh blueberries

1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices

5 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature

Small fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1
Stir 1/2 cup sugar into the water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool completely. Pour the blueberries into sugar syrup and gently toss to coat. Pour the remaining 1 cup sugar into a medium bowl or dish. Remove the blueberries with a slotted spoon and let the excess sugar syrup drip off. Place the blueberries in the sugar and gently toss to lightly coat. Remove and place on a tray to dry for 1 hour.
Step 2
Place slices of bread on a baking sheet and lightly toast. Spread goat cheese on top of toasts. Top with sugared blueberries and garnish with basil.
