Grocery List
  • Amounts will vary
  • 1 Baguette
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 2-4 oz. Blue Cheese
  • Local honey
Here's how...
  1. To begin, slice a baguette into ΒΌ" slices and lay them on a baking sheet (foil-lined means less clean up!), drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
  2. Bake them in a preheated 400 degree oven on the bottom shelf for 6-8 minutes or until crispy. The length of your baguette will vary and so the amount of every other ingredient will vary as well, so be willing to be flexible. I made about two dozen slices.
  3. In the same oven, bake 4-6 slices of thick cut bacon on a wire rack placed into a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil for easier clean up, and bake until crispy -- around 15-20 minutes. Of course you can fry it up if that's easier. Dab as much grease off of the bacon with paper towel as you can and cut into little strips.
  4. In a mixing bowl, mix together 4 oz. cream cheese with about 2-4 oz. of Gorgonzola Bleu Cheese ( to your taste preference). Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once the baguettes have cooled, schmear each with the cheese mixture, evenly distribute the bacon pieces and arrange on a serving tray. Just before serving, drizzle with honey (a good local honey is always the best choice).
