Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 100 grams blue cheese
- 60 grams walnuts
- 1 medium apple (crisp variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the walnuts on a baking tray and toast them in the oven for 5 minutes, or until they smell fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
While the walnuts toast, thinly slice the apple into even slices. There's no need to peel it unless you prefer to.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the apple slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they soften slightly and have a light golden color. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and crisp.
Evenly spread the blue cheese over each slice of toasted sourdough. The heat from the toast will help the cheese soften slightly.
Top the blue cheese layer with the sautéed apple slices and sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top.
Drizzle each toast with honey for a touch of sweetness and, if desired, sprinkle a few fresh thyme leaves for added flavor.
Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and enjoy!
