I can’t recall the day I decided that I actually like blue cheese. For years I considered it a disgusting, smelly hunk of mold, hardly classifiable as food. Then one day, it was like someone flipped a switch and now, I crave the stuff!
This delicate recipe is a little twist on a blue cheese pizza that was prepared during a cheese class at my favorite local produce store, Chuck’s Produce. Their resident “Cheese Whiz,” Andrew, allowed us to taste several varieties of blue cheese in various different ways. One of the cheeses he sprinkled over his apple pizza and topped with agave syrup. It was delicious! For my version, I replaced the pizza dough with the lighter puff pastry, which I think lends itself better for a breakfast item, and used organic clover honey as the drizzle.
Aside from the incredible sweet & savory combination, you’ll love this recipe because it uses minimal, common ingredients and it is really quick and easy to prepare, while still being impressive in both flavor and presentation.
Are you a blue cheese lover? If not, maybe this recipe will change your mind. If you already love it, enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry
1-2 fresh apples, sliced (Honey Crisp or Pink Ladies taste great!)
½ cup blue cheese crumbles
Honey (enough to drizzle)
Directions:
Follow thawing directions on the puff pastry box. Lay pastry sheet out flat on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for approx 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Pastry will puff up…a lot! It’s okay, it,s puff pastry, that’s what it’s supposed to do! Once golden, remove from oven.
Slice and core apples and arrange evenly on the cooked pastry. Top with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with honey.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until blue cheese is golden and apples are soft.
Serve warm.
