"Choose whatever blue cheese you prefer but make sure it is slightly creamy. The broiling softens the cheese and brings the two flavours together. Created by Jennifer McLagan and Heather Trim for Food and Drink."

  1. What an interesting combination of flavors! I didn't have a creamy bleu cheese, so I mixed a little bit of soft cream cheese with the bleu. It still didn't melt as well as I would have liked, but it was just delicious anyway. I couldn't find any small apricots, and my husband and I ate this as a side with our Country French Chicken recipe #409946. Fabulous!
     
  2. A simple appetizer or dessert blending sweet fruit and tangy blue cheese. I used in-season peaches rather than apricots.
     
  3. These are a superb little appie - and so easy! We are just getting our first apricots of the season and I used 9 for this recipe (scaled to half). Also used the 'good' blue (Roquefort).
     
  4. I loved these. Others at my party felt they were too rich. But as they were used for an appetizer, I don't think rich should be a problem. We grilled these in the bbq and they turned out perfectly.
