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.
