Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Blue cheese, crumbled
- 115 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 1 piece Baguette, sliced and toasted
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
Add the honey, fresh chives, and a pinch of salt and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Fold in the toasted and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are distributed throughout the spread.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey if desired.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the spread chills, slice the baguette into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices and toast them lightly under a broiler or in a toaster oven until golden brown.
Remove the baguette slices from the heat and allow them to cool slightly.
Spread a generous amount of the blue cheese mixture onto each baguette slice or serve the spread alongside the toasted slices for dipping.
Garnish with an additional sprinkle of chopped chives or walnuts for presentation, if desired.
