Peach Bruschetta with Blue Cheese:

    -2 Peaches (The Sun crest’s from this week will be perfect!)
    -Frog Hollow Olive Oil for Brushing

Broil bread briefly on both sides, then remove and brush with olive oil.
Add Cheese and allow to heat up briefly on bread,
then remove and add thick slices of peaches to each
Toast.
