Ingredients
- 1 baguette, thinly sliced on an angle
- 1 pear, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
- Lemon wedge
- 3/4 pound Roquefort, crumbled
- 1 cup walnut pieces
Directions
Preheat the broiler.
Arrange 12 slices of baguette on the broiler pan in a single layer. Toast bread lightly on each side under broiler. Remove broiler pan from broiler. Spread out sliced pears on cutting surface and squeeze the juice of a wedge of lemon over the slices to keep them from browning. Place a slice of pear on each toast and top with Roquefort crumbles and walnut pieces. Return pan to broiler 6 inches from heat source and broil toasts 2 or 3 minutes to melt cheese and toast walnuts. Transfer to a plate and start snacking!

Thought this was great. Easy and tasty. I made a few modifications to the recipe, though. First, I brushed all the baguette slices with EVOO before toasting to add an additional touch of rich sweetness. I also made half of mine with stilton (rather than the sharper Roquefort and half with chevre. Both were great compliments with the pear and toasted walnuts.
This'll surely be one the menu again sometime.

Everyone loved this. What a great combo of flavors. I used Gorgonzola instead of Roquefort and this was awesome!!!

These are easy and delicious. I substituted the cheese for a more mild gorgonzola to suit my husband's taste. He still was not crazy about it. The flavors and textures meld together nicely.
