Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 ounces Bleu cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup Port wine
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Step 3
Add the crumbled bleu cheese and chopped walnuts to the dry mixture. Gently toss to coat and evenly distribute.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, port wine, egg, and honey until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or paired with additional cheese or a glass of port wine.
