What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Elevated Edibles: Mint Black ‘n Bleu Snack! When you’re needing a simple, yet exotic appetizer or dessert, nothing satisfies the palate like naturally sweet fresh blackberries complimented by creamy bleu cheese. The subtle crunch of a multigrain cracker topped with sesame and poppyseeds makes a wonderful platform. A touch of raw honey serves to tickle the tongue while the fresh mint leaf provides a tangy finish. Together, they pair extremely well with a glass of white wine or after dinner espresso. Perhaps you see this in your future.
MINT BLACK ‘N BLEU SNACK
Ingredients:
8.3 ounces multigrain baked crackers
4-6 ounce wedge Danish bleu cheese
8 ounces fresh blackberries, wash and pat dry
1/4 cup raw Tupelo honey
Fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
On a serving platter, arrange a single layer of multigrain crackers. Shave thin layers of Danish bleu cheese slices to cover the crackers. Add blackberries in random order. Drizzle with Tupelo honey. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve.

what is Blue Cheese?
LikeLiked by 2 people
It’s a kind of cheese with deep blue veins running through it. Because of the cultures of mold (penicillium) it has a rather strong aroma. Some say it is an acquired taste. 🍃🧀
