Maybe you already know that Good Morning Honey makes deliciously flavoured honey that can be spread on or baked into a number of different foods, enjoyed on its own, or sipped in a cup of tea. We keep our honey authentic and simple, so it’s incredibly healthy and includes all the good stuff like enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Our Alberta-made honey is pure, unpasteurized, and unfiltered.
Did you know that you can cook with our honey as well? In the recipe we are sharing today, we’ve paired our blueberry honey with a crisp crostini, flavourful green grapes, and blue cheese. Then we top it off with walnuts for even more crunch! If you have a nut allergy, you can easily omit this step and the result will still be delicious.
We know that blue cheese is a bold choice! But we firmly believe that this recipe can convert any blue cheese naysayer. The grapes and honey pair exquisitely with it. This semi-soft cheese has a sharp, salty taste that comes in many flavours (and smells!) that range from quite mild to very distinctive. Here are a few of the different types that would be fantastic in this recipe: Gorgonzola (Italy), Bleu d’Auvergne (France), Maytag Blue Cheese (United States), and Roquefort (France). Try one or try them all! We are very confident that once you have tasted this bold cheese paired with our honey, you will be a blue cheese believer.
Another option for substitution for this grape crostini is the flavour of honey. We really like our blueberry honey for this recipe, but maybe you would like a different one! You can check out our different flavours and decide for yourself. Dandelion honey has a lingering flowery taste and a beautiful caramel texture. We love it in our tea, in savoury dishes, or on a fresh slice of sourdough bread, so it would be perfect for this!
Now let’s get to the recipe.
Honey-Roasted Grape Crostini with Blue Cheese and Walnuts
What you’ll need:
- Seedless green grapes (about two or three bunches, stems removed)
