Sacre Bleu Cheese!

I know that previously on this blog I have expressed how much I love cheese. But to be perfectly honest, I am not the biggest fan of blue cheese. Part of it has to do with my mold phobia, but it's mostly just the taste. I just don't like it. But I will eat it, especially if it's part of another dish or a salad garnish or something. So, I was a little apprehensive about this recipe for a blue cheese and pear sandwich from Moosewood. Thankfully, it's one of those recipes where the cook can decide the ratios  of each ingredient, so I added a minimal amount of blue cheese.

The whole thing makes a simple lunch that is very filling. You take the blue cheese and mix it up with some cream cheese and chopped walnuts. Then, you spread that mixture onto some bread and top with sliced pears. I did get a few bites that were more blue cheese than anything else, which wasn't great for me. But, overall I really liked this meal! I chose a very hearty whole wheat bread that paired really well with the cream cheese and the Bartlett pears I chose were excellently juicy.
