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! |
