Bleu Cheese Crostini With Sancerre Syrup And Peppery Lettuce

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups	355ml	Dry white wine
		= (such as Sancerre or Sauvignon Blanc)
1/4 cup	59ml	Orange blossom honey
1/2		Lemon - juiced
3 tablespoons	45ml	Unsalted butter
1/2		Baguette - cut 1" slices
8 oz	227g	Bleu cheese
1		Peppery lettuce
		= (such as arugula or watercress)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
		Kosher salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Toasted chopped walnuts

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

Put a sheet pan or pizza stone in the oven to get it heated up too.

Combine the Sancerre, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Simmer gently, swirling the pot around, until the wine is syrupy and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Butter both sides of each slice of bread. Put a nice hunk of bleu cheese on top of the baguette slices and arrange them on the hot sheet pan or stone. Bake for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread toasted.

Put the lettuce in a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pile the greens on a serving platter with the bleu cheese crostini around it. Drizzle the wine syrup over the crostini and greens and sprinkle with the walnuts.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
