Honeyed Blue Cheese Toast Recipes

BLUE CHEESE WALNUT TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush one side of each slice of bread with melted butter, and place butter side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
• In a small bowl, stir together the blue cheese, softened butter, salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the tops of the toasted bread slices, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
• Bake for 6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is melted and bubbly. Arrange on a serving tray and garnish with chopped parlsley.

PEACH AND BLUE CHEESE TOASTS

Steps:

• Using the tip of a paring knife, score an X in the bottom of each peach. Cook in a large saucepan of boiling water just until skins begin to peel back where cut, about 1 minute.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Peel; cut over a small bowl into wedges, collecting juices. Add lemon juice and honey and toss to combine.
• Toast bread, brush with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt. Spread cheese on toast and top with peaches, leaving juices behind. Whisk 4 tablespoons oil into juices. Toss purslane with enough dressing to lightly coat in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Arrange over toasts.

BLUE CHEESE TOASTS

HONEYED BLUE CHEESE GRAPES

Steps:

• Clean and pick through your grapes--you want only pretty and round grapes otherwise you'll have a mess on your hands.
• Dilute the honey with some water- enough so that you have a liquidy/sticky mixture that you can easily coat your grapes with.
• Coat your grapes with the liquidy honey- I put my grapes in a strainer over a bowl, that way I can just pour the mixture over my grapes a few time to ensure good coverage.
• Put your blue cheese crumbles in a large bowl- toss the grape in this mixture a few at a time until well covered in cheese (For this to work well the cheese must be *finely* crumbled).
• Chill grapes at least 1 hour prior to service to allow honey to 'set'.
• Enjoy!
• Additional ways to serve these- freeze the grapes prior to the honey/blue cheese portion of this for a delightful cool summer treat, If you have a 'flavor injector' try removing some of the grape liquid and replacing it with honey.
