Blueberries aren’t in season very long here in Michigan, but thankfully they are usually available year round at my grocery store.
During the season I try to pick as many Michigan blueberries as possible and then freeze them to use in baked goods or jams later in the year.
I still have some blueberries in the freezer and decided to make these blueberry goat cheese bites.
The blueberry goat cheese recipe is perfect for red carpet parties, football parties, girls night in or just because you are in the mood for some blueberry delightfulness.
I used crescent rolls to make these, but you could also use a phyllo dough.
I simply rolled my crescent rolls out, pinched the seams together on both sides and cut into squares.
From there I put a pinch of honey goat cheese and a 1/2 teaspoon (give or take) blueberry sauce in the center.
Bring two opposite corners up to meet in the middle and pinch the dough together to create a triangle shape.
Bake in the oven or an air fryer for extra crispy results.
Once the bites are baked place on serving tray, sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Tip: Blueberries freeze well. If they are on sale buy extra and freeze them from later use.

Why you should add blueberries to your diet?
Blueberries are high in antioxidants, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Blueberries are also a good source of fiber, which can help with digestion and weight management. In addition, blueberries are low in calories and have a low glycemic index, making them a good choice for people trying to control their blood sugar levels.
Blueberries are also rich in vitamin C, which can help boost the immune system and promote healthy skin. They are also a good source of other vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, manganese, and copper.
They may also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the risk of certain conditions such as asthma and arthritis.
Overall, blueberries are a tasty and healthy addition to any diet. Whether you enjoy them fresh, frozen, or dried, they are a versatile and nutritious fruit that can provide numerous benefits to your overall health and well-being.
