Ingredients
1 1/2 c. crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
30 sturdy round crackers
3/4 c. dried cranberries (Craisins)
1/4 c. minced fresh parsley
Preparation
Step 1In a medium-size bowl, toss the Gorgonzola and walnuts. When tossing, be gentle, as you don’t want to end up with big clumps.Step 2Top each cracker with a small mound of the cheese mixture, pressing the mixture lightly onto each cracker to keep it from slipping off. Top each cracker with 3 or 4 cranberries, and sprinkle a touch of chopped parsley on top of each.
When picking out a cracker to serve as the basis for these excellent canapés, be sure to choose something with a bit of heft, that won’t snap easily. You’ll also want to shy away from any cracker that’s been overseasoned in some way (the classic Chicken-in-a-Biscuit won’t work), because it will clash with the assertive flavors in the topping.
