Ingredients

1 loaf Ciabatta sliced 1/4 inch thick, or baguette
8 ounces Blue Cheese crumbled
2 pears sliced
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven by turning on the broiler.
Slice the bread and pop it into a toaster for a light browning.
Place the pieces of toast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, smear the toast generously with blue cheese.
Top with a thin (lengthwise) slice of pear, crumble on some more blue cheese and place it under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle on some chopped walnuts.
Return to the broiler just long enough to heat the walnuts. Watch closely so the walnuts don't burn. This will only take a few seconds.
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with honey.
Serve immediately on your favorite serving platter.

Notes

This recipe works well if you can find a thin, flat loaf of ciabatta. A baguette also works well for this recipe. Just find a baguette that is thick enough to hold a sliced pear.

If you're not a fan of blue cheese, try Brie.
