Locket's Savoury image

This recipe is based on a savoury dish served at a famous old London restaurant/gentleman's club. It is essentially an upscale open faced cheese sandwich. Serve this as a cheese coarse at the end a dinner party (it's a good excuse to open another bottle of wine). This would also make a lovely brunch dish or quick but elegant late supper for after the theatre.

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 4 open faced sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pear, firm but ripe (Comice or Anjou pears are good choices)
4 slices whole grain bread
1 cup watercress leaf, coarse stems discarded (about 1/2 bunch)
1/4 lb Stilton cheese, chilled then sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Halve the pear lengthwise and core it, then thinly slice crosswise.
  • Toast the bread slices on a small baking sheet under the broiler about 3 inches from the heat, turning once, until golden on both sides.
  • Divide the watercress sprigs among the toasts and cover with overlapping pear slices. Arrange the stilton slices over the pear.
  • Broil the sandwiches until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
