New Way to Serve Up Gorgonzola

I rarely use gorgonzola on its own because I think the taste and smell is a little too powerful. As a cream sauce atop gnocchi, delicious, but out there in the great wide open, I hesitate. However, I discovered a new way to serve it on a cheese plate or even as the main contender without offending nearby noses.

Cut your block of gorgonzola in small cubes (smaller than the generic cheddar cheese & swiss cubes you see on platters at the grocery store or at speaker conventions). Place on a saucer and drizzle with enough honey to coat. The honey sweetens the cheese a bit and softens the aroma. Serve with toothpicks & slices of baguette to sop up what's left of the honey/cheese mix on the bottom of the plate.
