Open-Faced Blue Cheese Sandwich with Pears

I'm fried from a full day! Thought I'd quickly share an easy way to make a simple but complex tasting sandwich. I'm not big on blue cheese, but this Open-Faced Blue Cheese Sandwich with Pears caught my attention. It's part one in the two sandwich series "Blue Cheese Heaven" from the New Moosewood Cookbook.

Start by toasting a slice of your favorite bread. Mine, as I have mentioned, is Dave's Killer Bread.


Then combine equal amount of blue cheese, cream cheese, and toasted walnuts. Spread these on the bread.


Slice up a perfectly ripe pear. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the slices. Arrange them artfully. I chose the "ray of light" theme for mine.


Lastly, you put it in your face! This sandwich was filling. I just can't get into blue cheese though!  I'm gonna keep trying ... For my health!

    I used to own a cafe, and we served a sandwich -- very popular, once people grasped the potential of it :) -- of toasted sourdough, turkey, pears, blue cheese crumbles and a balsamic drizzle. SO good! We should all eat more funny colored cheese and fruit on our bread!

    Wow! That sounds groovy, minus the turkey for me, of course :)

    Cheers!

    I don't know about them! Very funny you say that though, bc just today I was thinking how I need to stop drinking so much milk bc I might get osteoporosis (yes, opposite what the milk campaigners say... there's something about not absorbing calcium too well..)
