Ingredients

  • 1 baguette
  • 2 pears
  • 4 oz blue cheese (creamy variety is best)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice baguette into 1/2 inch slices at a bias. Arrange the baguette slices on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 5–8 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  • While the baguette toasts, thinly slice the pears and mash or whip the blue cheese until creamy.
  • Once the baguette slices are toasted, spread on a layer of blue cheese and top each one with a few slices of pear. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and fresh thyme.
