Directions
Grilled Tomato Crustini, I was trying to come up with something easy to serve at a cocktail party and this is what I came up with They were a huge hit, even for people who normally don’t like Gorgonzola cheese The balsamic glaze can be made well in advance, I usually have some in the refrigerator waiting for me to use it The yield is an estimation , This made for a wonderful mid morning snack I reduced it down to just 1/4 baguette using regular bleu cheese I also added some garlic powder to the sauce With the minor changes, it really made wonderful ‘mini-pizzas’ Thanks for sharing the recipe , Made for the *Best of 2008* tag game, this was great & loved the glaze! used blue cheese + garlic (like Nimz), did not use the grill (Feb in Iceland) & used crusty rolls vs baguette We try to eat light on Tues & Thurs nite when DH has a main-meal at noon & blue cheese was the theme as I paired this w/Recipe #222166 (another *Best of 2008* tag) The combo made a great meal for us Thx for sharing this recipe w/us *Yum* 🙂
