Ingredients
2 slices of rustic bread
1 pear, thinly sliced
2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup walnut pieces, toasted
Fresh arugula
Instructions
- Toast the rustic bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
- While the bread is toasting, toast the walnut pieces in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Once the bread is toasted, arrange the thin pear slices on top of each slice of bread.
- Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the pears.
- Drizzle honey over the cheese and pears for a touch of sweetness.
- Add the toasted walnut pieces on top, followed by a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery finish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures between the crispy toast and fresh toppings.
If you want more sweetness, you can drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the top.
Store any leftover walnuts in an airtight container for up to 1 week. However, it’s not recommended to store the fully assembled toast as the bread will lose its crispiness.
If you prefer a smoother texture or have a nut allergy, you can omit the walnuts or replace them with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
