In this easy starter, a mix of tangy blue cheese, chopped toasted walnuts and peppery arugula makes a delicious topping for baguette toasts. Ingredients:
butter, room temperature |
18 1/4-inch-thick diagonal baguette bread slices |
6 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts |
3 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled |
3 tablespoons finely chopped arugula |
arugula leaves |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread butter over 1 side of each baguette slice. Arrange baguette slices on baking sheet, butter side up. Bake baguette slices until golden, about 12 minutes. Cool.
2. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Mix walnuts, Gorgonzola and arugula in medium bowl. Spoon nut-cheese mixture evenly atop baguette toasts, pressing to adhere. Season toasts with pepper. Bake toasts just until cheese melts, about 6 minutes. Cool crostini slightly. Arrange crostini on platter. Garnish platter with arugula leaves and serve.
