Course Appetizer
Cuisine American
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces blue cheese crumbled. I used Point Reyes
  • 8 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese at room temperature. Reduced fat is fine but no fat will not work
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional) finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar very soft

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the blue cheese and cream cheese and rosemary, if you are using it.

  3. Spread the mixture in a small baking dish and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Broil for just a few minutes, watching carefully, until the sugar is caramelized but not burned. 

  4. Serve with maple walnut scones or French Bread, sliced. 

Recipe Notes

You can also use one of those "Creme Brulee torches" with the butane cartridge instead of the broiler, but honestly, they scare me. I am sure they are really safe but I don't want to test that theory.
