APRICOTS WITH BLUE CHEESE

NO RECIPE RECIPE: GRILLED BLUE CHEESE AND FRUIT

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, spread butter on both slices of bread.
• Once the pan is warm, add 1 piece of bread, buttered side down, and top with cheese and peach slices. Cover with a few arugula leaves, if using. Allow to cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Close the sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side up, then flip and cook until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, another 4 to 5 minutes.
• Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

BLUE CHEESE AND DRIED FRUIT TERRINE

Steps:

• Mash the blue cheese and mascarpone together with the honey, if using, and pepper. (You can do this in the food processor, too, but it will cream the blue cheese so much that you get a greenish terrine. Not the end of the world, but just warning you.) Stir in the apricots, currants, figs, pistachios and walnuts. Season with pepper. Wrap in plastic and shape into a terrine. Refrigerate for several hours until firm. Serve with an assortment of rustic country breads or crackers and decorate with some whole dried fruits and nuts, if you like.

APRICOTS WITH HERBED GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Place goat cheese, minced basil, chives and milk in a mini food processor; process until smooth. Arrange apricot slices on a serving platter. Drop goat cheese mixture by teaspoonfuls over top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; drizzle with balsamic glaze. Garnish with additional basil leaves. Serve immediately.

• Transfer salad to a platter and season with more pepper.

DRIED APRICOTS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PISTACHIOS
