Blue Cheese Honey Appetizer – just 3 ingredients – bold flavored blue cheese drizzled with sweet honey served up with warm, sliced baguette Whips up in under 10 minutes!
For the record, I can’t take credit for this recipe but I’m so happy to pass it along to you. I ate years ago on a girls’ weekend and have been making it on repeat ever since – it’s that good!
It’s hardly a recipe at all m- but more of an idea and I guarantee you can’t mess it up. Simple, understated, it packs serious flavor punch and takes almost no time to whip up.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
Blue Cheese Honey Appetizer is just three ingredients ~ a wedge of good quality blue cheese, some locally sourced honey and a few slices of good artisan bread.
Artisan just means extra care that was taken in the making of the bread. It can be white, French or even a whole grain, but good quality bread, honey and cheese are important. Since there are only three ingredients, so each should stand on its own.
Do you know the difference between blue (bleu) cheese and gorgonzola?
I didn’t, but was curious because I love the delicious bold flavor of blue and buy it (or gorgonzola) pretty routinely. I researched and found that Blue cheese is a general category of cheeses bearing the prominent blue-green veins through it. Gorgonzola is a specific variety of the blue cheese family, one of the oldest blue cheeses and is produced mainly in northern Italy. I love how we can learn together!
WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE BLUE CHEESE HONEY APPETIZER?
- ½ pound wedge of good quality blue cheese
- ¼ cup locally sourced honey (or less according to your taste)
- Loaf of artisan bread
Because the recipe only calls for 3 ingredients, buy the best quality cheese and honey available.
HOW TO MAKE BLUE CHEESE HONEY APPETIZER:
Bring the cheese to room temperature, crumble some (or all) of it and drizzle the honey over the top. Depending upon your taste, you may not use all of the honey listed in the ingredients.
Warm and slice the bread and serve. It’s also delicious with sliced apples or other seasonal fruit, celery sticks or sliced bell pepper
