Blue Cheese Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Toast bread and spread with butter. Top with smashed avocado. Lay the asparagus spears horizontally over the avocado, alternating which way they face. Sprinkle with blue cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, garlic, ground pepper, and cayenne pepper in medium bowl and whisk to blend. Mix in cheeses; season with salt. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush 1 side of each bread slice with oil. Place oiled side down on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake bread slices until almost golden, about 5 minutes. Spread 1 generous tablespoon cheese mixture on each bread slice on sheet. Bake until cheese topping starts to bubble and toasts are golden at edges, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer toasts to large platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Mix cheese and butter in small bowl. Spread cheese mixture over bread rounds, dividing equally. Arrange rounds on baking sheet. Sprinkle each lightly with sugar. Broil until topping is just brown and cheese softens, about 1 minute. Transfer toasts to platter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush one side of each slice of bread with melted butter, and place butter side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
• In a small bowl, stir together the blue cheese, softened butter, salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the tops of the toasted bread slices, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
• Bake for 6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is melted and bubbly. Arrange on a serving tray and garnish with chopped parlsley.

Steps:

• In a medium sized pan, saute mushrooms in butter and olive oil until they are tender. In a separate pan, saute asparagus tips in butter until they are tender. Set both aside.
• In the same pan, saute onion in olive oil until they are tender and translucent. Add the risotto to the pan and stir constantly. While stirring, add 1 cup of chicken stock to the risotto. When the mixture begins to thicken, add 1/2 cup more of chicken stock. Continually stir the risotto while adding in the blue cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter, and pears. When the risotto reaches the desired consistency, add the mushrooms. Garnish with thin slices of pear and sauteed asparagus tips.

• In a separate pan, saute garlic cloves in olive oil until they become slightly tender, and then cover the garlic with chicken stock. Drain the liquid from the garlic and mash the cloves with the onions. Add cheese to the garlic and onion mixture and stir until the cheese melts. Finish the cheese spread with freshly chopped basil.
• Brush baguette slices with melted butter on each side. In a large grill pan, toast the buttered baguette pieces over medium heat. Toast the bread until the pieces are browned and slightly crispy. Remove the toast points from the pan and spoon the cheese mixture on top of each piece. Garnish each point with a small basil leaf.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the grill the the highest setting and line a grill pan with kitchen foil.
• Put the cheese into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork.
• Add the cream or creme fraiche, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper, salt, (optional as the cheese is already quite salty) & the walnut pieces.
• Mix well & set aside.
• Place all the slices of bread on to the lined grill pan and toast until just golden brown.
• Take out and spread the UNTOASTED side with butter.
• Spread the cheese mixture over the top ensuring it is spread to the edges, otherwise they will burn!
• Sprinkle with the Cayenne pepper.
• Place under the grill and grill for about 2-4 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling & tinged with brown.
• Serve 2 slices per person with a crisp seasonal salad and a good glass or two of Red wine!
• The ultimate supper dish!
• If you wish to serve these as aperitif nibbles, stamp out rounds from the slices of bread and continue to assemble & grill as above. Serves about 8 people that way.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Cut each slice into four triangles; place with plain side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook until just beginning to color, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and cook until onions are deep golden brown and very soft, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in vinegar and raisins. Season caramelized onions to taste with salt and pepper. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Arrange 4 bread slices on work surface. Top with cheese, dividing equally. Top each with 1/4 cup caramelized onions. Top with remaining bread slices to form 4 sandwiches. Spread half of butter over tops of sandwiches. Heat heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches, buttered side down. Spread remaining butter over tops of bread. Partially cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes. Turn sandwiches over. Cook until second sides brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Cut each sandwich into 6 wedges.

Steps:

• Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven or, if you are tripling the recipe, position the oven racks so they are evenly spaced, with the second rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F.
• While the oven is preheating, combine the blue cheese, mozzarella, pine nuts, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Brush each slice of bread with olive oil and place on a rimless cookie sheet. Roast the bread on the center rack for 3 to 5 minutes, until toasted on one side. Remove the bread from the oven and turn over. Spread each slice with the cheese mixture, pressing down slightly with a fork.
• Return the bread to the oven and roast until the cheese mixture has melted. Serve immediately.
