I’m pretty excited about this blueberry appetizer I’m sharing today.

We are still having super nice weather (thankfully) so I’m all about delicious recipes that are no fuss and require minimal oven time.

That’s where these roasted blueberry and whipped goat cheese crostini fit the bill.

You may know my deep love for crostini. It’s strong, my friends.

I think it’s because they are just so darn easy to whip up, they taste delicious (of course) and they are cute little bite-sized things and who doesn’t love that?

This blueberry crostini makes for one delicious summer bite.

Imagine whipping up a batch, grabbing some vino and heading out on the deck with friends. Fun times, that’s for sure!

We have to make the most of summer while we can and that means enjoy all the fresh berries.

I mean, it’s not like we can’t get berries year-round; it’s just they’re not quite the same in winter months.

The berries that I used in this crostini recipe are not Newfoundland berries because they are only just coming around. But, when they do, watch out. I may be a little biased, but Newfoundland berries are the best berries ever.

They are super sweet and I could legit eat them by the handful. Every year my pop picks me a huge bucketful and they are always appreciated. So sweet.

How To Roast Blueberries

Can you roast blueberries? Yes! Indeed you can.

Blueberries are super simple to prepare and take only minutes to roast in the oven.

The end result after roasting? Super intense bluberry flavour, much like blueberry jam (only warm). So good! Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place fresh blueberries onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (spread them out).
Bake for about 15 minutes until they’re kinda jammy and softened.
That’s it! They’re ready to use in this blueberry crostini recipe and all sorts of yummy things!

Whipped Goat Cheese

The other major component of this crostini recipe is whipped goat cheese.

Honestly, it’s nothing fancy, but super tasty!

It’s simply goat cheese, a bit of salt and pepper and lemon juice.

Process in a little food processor and it’s creamy dreamy and ready to use.

How To Make The Crostini

After the blueberries are roasted, it’s time to assemble the crostini. Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

Cut your bread into pieces.
Brush the bread with olive oil.
Bake the bread.
Spread over whipped goat cheese.
Top with roasted blueberries, lemon zest and drizzle of olive oil.
Serve and enjoy!

Tips for Making This Recipe

I recommend using fresh blueberries in this recipe over frozen blueberries.
You can easily double this recipe for a crowd.
I used an apricot and walnut bread because that was what was super fresh and caught my eye that day at the market, but you could use whatever bread suits your fancy. Just cut into bite-sized pieces as I did here.
Depending on how small or large you cut your bread, will determine how many portions you yield. I would say mine were a standard crostini size and I yielded roughly 10 pieces.
