If you’re an avid foodie and entertainer, then it’s no secret that you miss cooking and hosting friends and family. While we aren’t quite sure when life will revert back to “normal”, we do know for a fact that you don’t have to be hosting a dinner party in order to serve up a tasty appetizer. Straight out of foodie legend Bob Blumer’s cookbook, Flavorbomb, is this delectable Blue Cheese Bruschetta recipe that’s not only a cinch to make but is the perfect combo of flavours and textures.
Here’s how to make Bob Blumer’s Blue Cheese Bruschetta recipe!
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 thick slices rustic country-style or sourdough bread
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 Tbsp walnut oil, hazelnut oil, or best available olive oil
- 8 ounces Saint Agur, or another creamy blue cheese
- ½ cup best available honey
- Coarsely ground pepper (either adjust your grinder to a coarser grind or grind a few peppercorns in a mortar and pestle)
Method:
- Toast your bread in a panini maker, over a grill, in a toaster, or in a toaster oven until it is very brown and crispy.
- Immediately after toasting the bread, rub a garlic clove over the entire surface of one side. Each slice should use up about a quarter to a third of a clove. (Be careful: when the garlic meets the toast’s hot surface, it will create fumes that will sting your eyes.)
- Generously drizzle oil over each slice. Then schmear each slice generously with cheese. Generously drizzle honey over top and finish with the pepper. Slice the bruschetta and serve immediately.
