BRUSCHETTA WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE AND HONEY


This is a tasty and easy appetizer. Great with a nice Chardonnay.

It's called Broo-SKEH-tah. I just thought I should share the proper pronunciation with all of you who call it Broo-SHET-ah.

Go hang your heads low and join me in the corner.


                      
                       BRUSCHETTA WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE AND HONEY

36 slices (1/2 inch thick) baguette bread, about 1 loaf

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

8 oz. Gorgonzola, sliced, or you can use crumbled

4-6 TBSP. honey, use more if you want


Preheat the oven to 400~

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil.

Bake until the bread is pale, golden, and crisp, 5-10 minutes.

Spread the cheese on the toasts and bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

Drizzle the toasts with honey.

Place on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Use this basic recipe and make as few or as many bruschettas as you like.

Recipe adapted from Giada De Laurentis.
