This gluten free blueberry goat cheese focaccia is the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Plus it’s a great way to use all those summer blueberries.
This summer has been the summer of the blueberry. I have been buying them like crazy and eating them like they are going out of style. I shouldn’t even admit this but I never even had a fresh blueberry until I was 20 years old.
Seriously, sometimes when I look back at all the stuff I didn’t try when I was a kid I get so annoyed.
I could have been enjoying blueberries, asparagus, chicken souvlaki and rice pudding for YEARS before I gave them a try.
Oh yeah, and add goat cheese to that list too. Rewind 7 years ago and I wouldn’t even consider eating goat cheese. I went through this stage in my life where I thought I didn’t really like cheese. I’m not sure what in the hell my issues were but who doesn’t like cheese?
Luckily I have gotten over my craziness and now I sit home and just eat cheese and blueberries like it’s going out of style. Especially when those blueberries are goat cheese are on top of bread. It’s even better.
You know what else I love about this dish? It’s pretty.
Pretty food makes me happy.
It’s made using gluten free flour and is the perfect addition for to your gluten free dinner or breakfast table. Because it’s GF the texture of the bread is a little different than typical focaccia but it’s still just as delicious!
