Total hit. I added more about 1/3 more cup of blue cheese. I also used a few more pecans and also added apriots that I minced with the pecans in the food proces. I added that mixture to the top. I served it wtih little pumpernickle breads and apricots on the side. Put a little dip, than the apricot on top of the bread. Delish!
