Grilled Blue Cheese with honey and walnut pesto

Ingredients

Walnut pesto:

½ cups roasted walnuts
¼ cups olive oil
1 garlic clove
lemon juice, to taste
crushed red pepper, to taste
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Grilled cheese:

8 mini slices bread or 4 slices sandwich bread
2 oz Castello® Double crème white
honey

Preparation

Preparation

To make the pesto, blend all ingredients in a food processor and season to taste. Be careful not to add too much salt since the blue cheese is salty.

To make the grilled cheeses, toast one side of each slice of bread, flip and top one half of the sandwich with a layer of walnut pesto, both types of blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

Top with remaining slices of bread and grill until the cheese is melty.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with a pickle and Napa Cellars Zinfandel and enjoy!
