Blueberry Cheddar Crisp


  • This Blueberry Cheddar Crisp won't heat up the kitchen - it's baked in the microwave. So, you don't have to wait for cooler weather to enjoy a Crisp.
  • Cheddar cheese gives this Crisp that something special.
Ingredients:
  • 5 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 4 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • topping:
  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoons cold butter
Directions:

  • In a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, mix together the 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Microwave, uncovered, on high for 8 minutes, stirring once half way through.
  • In a mixing bowl, using electric mixer, beat shredded cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg, 1 tablespoon flour and milk; beat until smooth.
  • Spread cheese mixture evenly over blueberry mixture.
  • In a bowl, combine together all of the topping ingredients except for butter. Once ingredients are well combined, cut in the butter and work it until crumbly.
