Appetizer: Liz A's Apricot Thrones with Cheese and Pecans

15 Pecan Halves
2 Ounces Cream Cheese, softened
2 Ounces Blue Cheese, Crumbled, *see Note
15 Dried Apricots, *see Note


1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Place pecans on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown (10-15 minutes). Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.
3. Combine cheeses in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Divide cheese mixture into 3 pieces, then divide each third into five pieces.
4. Place one piece of the cheese mixture on each apricot and top with a toasted pecan half. Transfer the apricots to a serving plate and serve, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Servings: 15
Notes: I like to use gorgonzola.
Be sure your dried apricots are moist and not desiccated.
Serving Ideas: The recipe also recommends substituting soft brie for the blue cheese, but I have never tried it.
