I was given this recipe by my mother-in-law. It’s served by my family on everything from pancakes to vanilla ice cream. When first made, it is best served warm. It’s best to use blueberries that are fresh.

Made as written and this was really good. I’m not a big fan of feta so next time I’ll use parm instead.
