Equipment

1 small saucepan
1 toaster

Ingredients

1 cup blueberries
¼ cup honey + more for serving
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest + more for serving
½ cup (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
4 slices French bread, baguette, or other thick bread

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and stir regularly with a wooden spoon. Gently smash the blueberries as they cook to release some juice, but don't smash too much; you just need a little released to turn the compote juices into that beautiful blueberry color.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Toast the slices of bread.
Spread the softened cream cheese on top of each toasted bread slice. Try to spread an equal amount on each slice.
Top each toast with a couple of tablespoonfuls of the blueberry compote.
Sprinkle additional lemon zest and drizzle a little honey over each toast. Serve immediately.

Notes

Makes 4 blueberry toast pieces.

Make it vegan/dairy-free: substitute your favorite dairy-free cream cheese for regular cream cheese. If you want it to be vegan, substitute granulated sugar for honey.

Make ahead: You can make the blueberry compote a day in advance, then store in an airtight container (mason jars work great) in the refrigerator. Then simply spoon on top of the cream cheese-lathered toast before enjoying.
