Provided by Food Network

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons walnuts
1 cup arugula, washed
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup apricot jam
1/3 cup blue cheese
1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
8-10 slices of French Baguette 1/4 inches thick
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spray made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a food processor, combine the garlic, walnuts, arugula, and pinches of salt and pepper. Pulse to blend, adding the olive oil gradually until pureed. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, combine the cheese and jam using a fork to break up the cheese, and blend it with the jam. Fold in the walnuts.
  • Place the bread slices on a cookie sheet, and spray each liberally with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spray made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Bake for about 10 minutes until toasted; monitor the bread so you can remove it from the oven as soon as it is browned. Flip the slices over, spray the non-browned side with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spray made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Spread the cheese and jam on the bread, and place back into the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt. Remove the crostini from the oven and place on a serving platter; drizzle with the arugula puree. Serve immediately warm, or at room temperature.
