Blue Cheese Toasts With Walnuts

To help prevent spiritual pride, let us remember, that we did not chose Christ, but were chosen by Him. We have nothing but what has been given to us. The free grace of God has alone made the difference between us and others; and, if God was to leave us to the deceitfulness of our own hearts for even one moment, we would become weak and wicked, like other men. We should further consider, that being proud of grace, is the quickest way to diminish it.

		che
6	T	Unsalted butter
1	T	Cognac, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Serve these Blue Cheese Toasts surrounding a salad made of finely
shredded bitter greens--radicchio, butter lettuce, endive--and  dressed
with a walnut oil vinaigrette.  PREHEAT THE OVEN OR BROILER for the
toast. Cream the cheese and butter  together. Add the cognac, if using,
season with pepper and stir in the  walnuts. Toast the bread lightly on
both sides. Spread the cheese  over the toast, then return it to the
oven or broiler just long  enough for the butter and cheese to melt
into the toast a little. It  shouldn't melt completely, but just
soften. Remove the toasts from  the oven, dust them with more pepper
and cut them into smaller  pieces. Serve warm. Cool, juicy slices of
pears would make a perfect  accompaniment to the cheese and walnuts.
