Every year for his birthday, Tim Hollingsworth's mother makes him cheesecake with canned cherries on top. In his clever version, he substitutes goat cheese for the cream cheese and glazed cranberries for the cherries.
This is a very unique breakfast dish. Good for any holiday breakfast or brunch, it's filled with the fresh taste of blueberries, and covered with a rich blueberry sauce to make it a one of a kind.
To lower the sodium in this cheesy, make-ahead breakfast dish, use ground turkey instead of breakfast sausage and add an herb such as thyme or oregano.
The refreshing side salad is easy to make ahead: Prepare up to 12 hours in advance and refrigerate, covered. Serve cool or at room temperature with the baked salmon.
