Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups dry white wine, such as Sancerre or Sauvignon Blanc
1/4 cup orange blossom honey
1/2 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 baguette, cut into 1-inch slices
8 ounces bleu cheese
1 bunch peppery lettuce, such as arugula or watercress
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Put a sheet pan or pizza stone in the oven to get it heated up too.
  • Combine the Sancerre, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Simmer gently, swirling the pot around, until the wine is syrupy and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Butter both sides of each slice of bread. Put a nice hunk of bleu cheese on top of the baguette slices and arrange them on the hot sheet pan or stone. Bake for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread toasted.
  • Put the lettuce in a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pile the greens on a serving platter with the bleu cheese crostini around it. Drizzle the wine syrup over the crostini and greens and sprinkle with the walnuts.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I think I would have preferred a simpler appetizer.

The crostini were a bit soggy. I think I would have preferred to toast the bread more.

These crostini were a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder blue cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but this recipe changed my mind. The sweetness of the syrup and the peppery lettuce balanced out the strong flavor of the cheese perfectly.

This recipe was a hit! The flavors of the blue cheese, Sancerre syrup, and peppery lettuce came together perfectly. I especially loved the contrast between the creamy blue cheese and the spicy lettuce. Will definitely be making this again!
