Open-Faced Walnut & Pear Sandwich with Blue Cheese
Creamy blue cheese is slathered over toasted rye bread and topped with juicy pear slices, peppery arugula and tangy balsamic glaze to make this open-faced pear sandwich.
Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat, tossing often, until the nuts are golden and fragrant, then allow them to to cool. Transfer the nuts to a small blender or food processor and whiz until fine, or crush them in a mortar and pestle.
Toast the bread and allow it to cool, then spread it with the blue cheese. Top with arugula and slices of pear. Drizzle with a little balsamic and sprinkle with the walnut dust. Enjoy immediately.
