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.

I found the Sancerre syrup to be a bit overpowering.

These crostini were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still enjoyable.

I'm not usually a fan of blue cheese, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavors were so well-balanced and the Sancerre syrup added a unique touch.

This recipe was an absolute delight! The combination of the creamy blue cheese, the sweetness of the Sancerre syrup, and the peppery lettuce was simply divine.
