Fig and Blue Cheese Bruschetta

By: The Pioneer Woman

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Baguette, Sliced
  • 4 tbsp. Butter
  • 2 tbsp. Fig Spread Or Fig Preserves (or You Can Use Plum, Apricot, Etc)
  • Blue Cheese, Cut Into Chunks

Directions

  • Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toast the baguette slices until golden and crisp. Allow to cool, then spread with a little fig spread/preserves. Top with blue cheese chunks. Sprinkle on basil.

Serve with a cold glass of wine! We paired this appetizer with a glass of our award-winning 2018 Medium Sweet Riesling. The stone fruit aromatics of this white variety and the light sweetness on the finish allows this wine to be perfect to enjoy before a meal with or without lighter cuisine. 

Take a break from your holiday shopping by coming into our tasting room and enjoy a glass of your favorite Aurora Cellars wine. Before you head home, make sure to buy a few bottles of wine to complete your holiday meal!
