Crostini with peaches and blue cheese

From the AP, Adapted from From Good Day for a Picnic

Ingredients:


  • 12 thin slices baguette or similar bread (stale bread is fine)
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • 3 to 4 ripe peaches
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 to 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • Freshly ground black pepper, optional

Brush the bread slices with just a bit of olive oil, then toast, bake, grill or broil the bread until it's almost dry.

To peel the peaches, boil them for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. The skin will come off easily. Slice the peaches into very small and thin pieces and combine them with the balsamic vinegar.


Preheat the broiler to low. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet. Top the bread slices with the peaches and their juices. Put the crumbled cheese on top of the peaches, and add just a touch of black pepper, if desired.

Broil the crostini until the cheese is hot, soft, and just touched with brown. Serve at any temperature, preferably within a couple hours of being made.
