Ingredients

0.5 cup unsalted butter, divided
1 French baguette, cut into 1/3 inch thick slices
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
salt and pepper to taste
0.5 cup chopped walnuts
0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Melt ¼ cup of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Brush one side of each bread slice with the melted butter, then arrange buttered-side-up on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is lightly toasted, approximately 7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese, the remaining ¼ cup of softened butter, salt, and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Return to the preheated oven and bake until the topping is melted, bubbly, and heated through, about 6 minutes. For a fresh touch, garnish with parsley.
