Sweet and salty flavors are both found in this unusual appetizer, which is superb when served at aperitif time with white wine, sherry, or a favorite cocktail.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients
• 1 baguette loaf, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices(approx. 24 slices)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, softened to room temperature
• 24 pitted dried plums (prunes), finely chopped
