BLEU CHEESE, WALNUT & PEAR SANDWICH



Bleu Cheese, Walnut & Pear Sandwich image

We really enjoyed these scrumptious tea sandwiches. They're slightly salty and creamy from the Bleu cheese spread. The mildly sweet and crisp slices of pear are a tasty contrast to the creamy filling. They are perfect sandwiches for parties or afternoon tea.

WALNUT TEA SANDWICHES

Recipe source: The Book Club Cookbook -- describing a wonderful way to discus Jane Eyre at your book club while nibbling on these wonderful tea sandwiches -- best if used very thin bread (suggestion: Pepperidge Farm thinly sliced bread/a combination of white and wheat would be pretty on a tray). Suggested to make sandwiches ahead of time and then cover them with waxed paper and then refrigerate them to prevent drying out -- but it is still best to prepare sandwiches as close to serving time as possible.

Time 1h30m

Yield 48 tea sandwiches, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, minced
1 tablespoon green bell pepper, minced
1 tablespoon onion, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/8 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
salt
white pepper
24 slices bread (see note in description ( use thinly sliced bread)
1/2 cup butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine first 4 ingredients (cream cheese - bell pepper) and stir in the onion, lemon juice and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hours.
  • Spread one side of each piece of bread with butter and then top the buttered side of 12 slices of bread with the cream cheese mixture topping with another slice of bread, buttered side down. Cut off crusts with a sharp knife.
  • Cut sandwiches diagonally into quarters.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears: Pears that are too soft will be difficult to slice, and those that are too hard will not have enough flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the pears: This will help to prevent the pears from bruising.
  • Toast the bread lightly: This will help to make the sandwiches more flavorful and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Spread the butter evenly on the bread: This will help to keep the sandwiches from becoming dry.
  • Use a generous amount of Stilton cheese: The cheese is the star of these sandwiches, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it.
  • Add a few walnuts for extra crunch: Walnuts add a nice textural contrast to the creamy cheese and soft pears.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, so don't make them too far in advance.

Conclusion:

These Stilton, pear, and walnut tea sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make afternoon snack. They are perfect for a light lunch or a tea party. The combination of sweet pears, salty cheese, and crunchy walnuts is sure to please everyone.
