These pear and blue cheese crostini are baked baguette slices topped with sliced pear, crumbled Niva (Czech blue cheese), and walnuts. In 8 minutes in the oven, the cheese melts and the edges of the baguette turn crisp, ready for a drizzle of honey. Salty blue cheese, sweet pear, and honey pair well with white wine. Serve the crostini warm.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Slice the baguette
5 min
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Cut the baguette diagonally into 24 slices about 1 cm thick. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add the toppings
10 min
Wash and core the pears, then cut them into thin slices. Place a pear slice on each baguette slice and sprinkle with the crumbled blue cheese and chopped walnuts.
Bake
8 min
Bake for 7–8 minutes, until the blue cheese melts and the edges of the baguette begin to turn golden.
Serve
Drizzle the warm crostini with honey and serve immediately.

Tip: Slice the pears just before assembling the crostini, as they brown quickly when exposed to air.
