Blue Cheese Bread





I'm not knocking the typical mozzarella-topped Italian cheesy bread.  In fact, I don't frown on any carbohydrate that's topped with cheese!   But blue cheese is my absolute favorite....so why shouldn't my cheese bread be BLUE?


The ingredients:
French Bread
Blue Cheese
Balsamic Vinaigrette (I used homemade - but a high quality store-bought type would work)
Red Onion
Mandarin Oranges
Walnuts
Start by toasting the walnuts in the oven
(350deg for about 12 minutes)
Let cool, then chop

Split the French bread horizontally

Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.

Add caramelized red onion & mandarin oranges
(Red grapes would work really well in place of the oranges too!)
Top with blue cheese...
....lots of it
Ready for baking!
Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until cheese is thoroughly melted


Top with toasted walnuts

Enjoy!
