Bleu Cheese Crostini With Sancerre Syrup And Peppery Lettuce

• 1 1/2 cups dry white wine, such as Sancerre or Sauvignon Blanc
• 1/4 cup orange blossom honey
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 baguette, cut into 1-inch slices
• 8 ounces bleu cheese
• 1 bunch peppery lettuce, such as arugula or watercress
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
2. Put a sheet pan or pizza stone in the oven to get it heated up too.
3. Combine the Sancerre, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
4. Simmer gently, swirling the pot around, until the wine is syrupy and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Butter both sides of each slice of bread.
6. Put a nice hunk of bleu cheese on top of the baguette slices and arrange them on the hot sheet pan or stone.
7. Bake for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread toasted.
8. Put the lettuce in a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
9. Pile the greens on a serving platter with the bleu cheese crostini around it.
10. Drizzle the wine syrup over the crostini and greens and sprinkle with the walnuts.
