Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 optional Crackers or fresh bread (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Add the walnuts to the skillet and toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn. Once aromatic and lightly golden, remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine Gorgonzola cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork to mash and mix until the cheeses are well blended and creamy.
Roughly chop the toasted walnuts and fold them into the cheese mixture, reserving a small handful for garnish, if desired.
Stir in honey, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
If using fresh parsley, fold it into the mixture as well for added freshness and color.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or dish and garnish with the reserved toasted walnuts and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or fresh bread. Enjoy!
