Danish Blue Cheese Toasts image

Serve these toasts hot out of the oven. They're a real crowd-pleaser and the recipe is easy to multiply to serve lots of people. If you make three panfuls at a time, position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced and bake all three at once.

Yield makes about 8 servings (3 pieces each)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, chopped walnuts, or slivered almonds
1 garlic clove, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
Twenty-four 1/2-inch slices coarse-textured Italian or French bread
1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter

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.
