How to Make Dried Apricots With Blue Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Toast 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds) in a small oven-safe skillet for 4-5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened blue cheese, 1 tablespoon of cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess), and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth. If using a food processor, pulse until combined but not completely pureed.
- Cut 1 cup dried apricots in half.
- Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the blue cheese mixture onto each apricot half.
- Top each apricot with a single toasted nut.
- Gently press the cheese-side of each apricot into a small bowl of finely chopped fresh parsley (about 1 tablespoon).
- Arrange the apricots on a platter, cheese-side up, and serve immediately or chill for later.
