| 1 | Prepare the Bread | |
| – Preheat your broiler to high. | ||

Tips:
- For an extra crunch, rub the bread slices with a garlic clove after toasting.
- If gorgonzola is too strong for your taste, try substituting with creamy goat cheese.
- Drizzle honey lightly for a hint of sweetness, or generously for a more pronounced flavor.
