Blue Cheese, Apple, and Sage-Honey Crostini image

Provided by Diana Yen

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 sage leaves
1/2 cup honey
1 baguette, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
8 ounces mild blue cheese (such as gorgonzola), room temperature
1/2 apple, thinly sliced (preferably Macintosh or Honeycrisp)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small saucepan, warm the sage and honey over medium-low heat until fragrant and the honey just begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Discard sage and let honey cool to room temperature.
Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place slices on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in oven until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and let cool. Spread blue cheese on baguette slices and top with apples and walnuts. Drizzle toasts with sage honey.

Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 Black Mission figs
1/2 cup blue cheese, cut into cubes
8 prosciutto (thinly sliced, cut in half lengthwise)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat grill. You will need medium to high heat for grilling. The key is to crisp the prosciutto quickly and leave the blue cheese just melted with the inner part of the fig cool in temperature.
Cut the figs in half and place a piece of blue cheese on each fig half. Wrap the prosciutto around each fig half, covering the cheese. The ends of the prosciutto should overlap.
Grill each piece until the prosciutto begins to color and crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm.
