Oregon Blue Cheese, Honey and Hazelnuts



Note: This is part of the Glamping episode where we featured a cocktail menu. I separated the recipes out individually to provide you with a better search option.




I love supporting our local farmers, in fact when I travel I make sure that I seek out what's happening in the local area by shopping the farmer's markets. Ask a local or check online to find the nearest farmer's market. Roadside stands are also a great stop to meet some locals, try the regional specialties and boost the economy of the region you're traveling through.

Oregon has some wonderful blue cheese and this recipe really shows off the rich flavor from an award winning blue cheese. We chose hazelnuts because Oregon is one of  the largest producers,  but you can select any nut from your area. Also, be sure and support your local honey.

*To toast hazelnuts, place in a cast iron skillet on medium heat and shake pan until fragrant and golden brown on all sides. Alternatively you can place them on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.
