Blue Cheese with Rosemary Honey on Crackers

4.3

(24)

With a little planning, this addictive treat can be easily thrown together at the last minute. Infuse the honey up to 24 hours in advance and arrange the blue cheese on crackers several hours ahead of time. Then, just before serving, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with scallions.

Blue cheese can be tricky to cut into slices. Freezing will make it firmer and much easier to slice.
