Directions
This gorgeous spicy cheese starter with the toasted bread is a great way to start off a dinner party. This is one of my absolute favourite cheese dishes because it’s not flavour combinations that you would put together and is a very controversial dish but once you try it all the flavours don’t each have there place when you are eating it they complement each other giving the cheese a lovely extra flavour that is a little sweet but a little spicy but it all gives the cheese al tot more depth and it makes it more interesting to eat.
You then have a crunchy french stick which you can either buy or you can make yourself. I will probably make it because i don’t ever often buy bread but buying it will give you the same outcome.
I have used the book How to bake by Paul Hollywood recipe to make the baguettes. Which you can check how to do make them on a separate recipe.
