Easy Appetizer - Gorgonzola, Walnut, and Honey Toasts

These little appetizers are about as easy as it gets!  So simple, but so delicious.  The combination of the savory and salty gorgonzola with the sweetness of honey and crunch of walnut makes this a perfect pre-dinner treat.  The only thing I wish I had with these appetizers was a glass of wine..haha!

These little treats are very versatile, especially when party planning.  They work perfectly with thin slices of baguette, or take the easy route, as I have, and toast up some pre-sliced Italian bread by Pepperidge Farm, then cut into four bite size pieces.  These would be great to make ahead and pop into the oven right when guests arrive.  Enjoy!

Gorgonzola, Walnut, and Honey Toasts

Slices of Italian bread, or baguette

Olive oil

Chopped Walnuts

Crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Honey

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees or use the broil function.  If using sliced bread, place bread in your toaster until golden brown.  Transfer to a baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil.  Sprinkle chopped walnuts over toasts and repeat with the crumbled gorgonzola.  Place into oven until gorgonzola is melty but toast is not overdone/burned.   Generously drizzle honey over warm toasts.  Slice toasts into 4 pieces.  

If you are using baguette, skip the toaster step and pre-bake bread at 400 degrees, topping only with olive oil.  Once toasted, add walnuts and gorgonzola and place back into oven until warmed through.  Drizzle with honey.
