1/2 tsp Kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush bread slices with olive oil. Arrange on baking sheet and bake until crisp and toasted, 8–10 minutes, turning once. Meanwhile, in medium non-stick skillet, heat blueberries, vinegar, and sugar just until blueberries are tender and a sauce forms, 4–5 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Top toasts with mascarpone cheese (about 2 teaspoons per toast) and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top with blueberry mixture and fresh basil.
