Ingredients
- one loaf crusty Italian bread
- 1/2-1 lb Gorgonzola Blue cheese
- 10 or so dried figs or 4-5 fresh Mission figs
- Orange blossom or lemon honey
- Olive oil spray
Preparation
Step 1
Take one loaf crusty Italian bread and cut into slices. Toast lightly and spray each piece with olive oil, according to your taste.Then, based on the size of each slice of bread, assemble the following ingredients to create a layer on top of each slice:
- ½-1lb Gorgonzola Blue cheese
- 10 or so dried figs, or 4-5 fresh Mission figs- Orange blossom or lemon honey
- Olive oil sprayChop figs up into small cubes and crumble the blue cheese separately.
If you want to use fresh Mission figs, please do!! However, instead of cubing, slice the figs thinly and layer over blue cheese.Top bread with crumbled blue cheese, layer some dried figs on top and LIGHTLY drizzle with honey.If you’re a little intimidated by the flavored honey, use regular honey, but use sparingly – the figs are sweet ‘as is’ and you don’t want sweetness overkill!
PS….Don’t be afraid get crazy and add some crumbled walnuts on top, too!Enjoy!
