This is a lovely cheese spread. The pears and walnuts give it a nice contrast. I have also used almond slices when I was out of walnuts.

Categories     Pears

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups (approx), 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ripe pears
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Peel and core pears.
  • Cut into 1/4 inch dice.
  • Combine in a bowl with other ingredients, tossing to mix well.
  • (Many times, I don't even bother with toasting the walnuts and it works out just fine).
  • Serve with crackers or toasted pita wedges for scooping.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality blue cheese. The flavor of the blue cheese will be the dominant flavor in the spread, so it's important to choose a cheese that you enjoy. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and has a sharp, pungent flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts before using them. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a food processor to make the spread. A food processor will help you to quickly and easily combine all of the ingredients for the spread. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a mortar and pestle.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste. The amount of salt and pepper that you add to the spread will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the spread before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. Blue cheese walnut spread is a versatile spread that can be served with a variety of different foods. Try it with crackers, bread, vegetables, or even fruit.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese walnut spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or gatherings, and it can also be enjoyed as a simple meal. The spread is creamy, flavorful, and has a slightly crunchy texture from the walnuts. It is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
