Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful pears. The sweetness of the pears will balance out the sharpness of the blue cheese.
  • Use good quality blue cheese. A strong, pungent blue cheese will give the spread a lot of flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Don't overmix the spread. You want it to be chunky, not smooth.
  • Serve the spread at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
