In a mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and blue cheese crumbles with the half-and-half and oil using a hand or stand mixer. Some small blue cheese lumps may remain. If too thick or not fluffy enough, adjust consistency with milk as needed. Taste and season with salt if necessary.
Spread a spoonful of the whipped blue cheese on the oiled side of the toasted bread. Top with 2 slices of apple and 2 slices of prosciutto. Serve with sides of honey and arugula to allow guests to serve themselves.
