Blue Cheese Wafers with Blackberry Compote #BluesdayTuesday

Summer is the time when easy recipes are the order of the day.Recipes that require least amount of effort with maximum flavor and phenomenal results.I have one such recipe for you today that involves Blue Cheese!I’m glad to be partnering with Castello for a Summer of Blue, a celebration of sweet, salty and tangy blue cheese recipes that’ll have your mouth watering throughout the summer.From crumbled, soft, and spreadable, to a sliced blue cheese perfect for melting with floral notes, Castello has a wide range of unique blue cheeses.They were kind enough to send me their Noble Blue that we just loved in our burgers, salads, dips and of course this recipe that I have for you today!

My Blue Cheese Wafers with Blackberry Compote are your perfect party hors d’oeuvre and look super cute. They take minutes to prepare and the piquant flavors from the Castello Noble Blue come through in every bite. The savory wafers are delicate, crumbly little rounds and melt in your mouth. Your food processor is all you need to bring the dough together.Once baked,you can store these in an airtight container if making in advance.

My blackberry compote is a thick luscious sweet topping with thyme and lemon and tastes delicious. I found out that blackberry compliments blue cheese like none other with its slight tartness and seems almost natural with it. Every bite of these wafers topped with the compote is a flavor explosion with the savory,sweet,tart all in harmony.Enjoy!
