Ingredients

• 125 grams creamy blue cheese or brie-style cheese
• 25 grams butter
• 2 ripe pears, peeled
• 1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 70 gram packet chopped walnuts, toasted
• 1 white or wholemeal loaf, or a combination of both
• softened butter for spreading

Method

1. Cream blue cheese and butter together until spreadable. Peel, core and finely slice pears, sprinkling them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Chop toasted walnuts.
2. Cut bread into 1 cm slices. Spread half with butter and half with blue cheese mixture. Arrange pears on top of blue cheese slices and top each with a buttered slice. Trim crusts and cut into triangles. Arrange in a neat row on a serving plate. Spread one side with butter or remaining cheese and coat with walnut crumbs.
