BLUE CHEESE AND WALNUT CRACKERS
Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and Stilton together for 1 minute, or until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour, salt and pepper and mix until it's in large crumbles, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of water and mix until combined.
- Dump the dough onto a floured board, press it into a ball, and roll into a 12-inch long log. Brush the log completely with the egg wash. Spread the walnuts in a square on a cutting board and roll the log back and forth in the walnuts, pressing lightly, and distributing them evenly on the outside of the log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 4 days.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the log 3/8ths-inch thick with a small, sharp knife and place the crackers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 22 minutes until very lightly browned. Rotate the pan once during baking. Cool and serve at room temperature.

STILTON AND WALNUT WELSH RAREBIT - BLUE CHEESE ON TOAST
A very easy & tasty recipe which I first devised for using up the Post-Christmas Stilton Cheese, but now I will actually buy Stilton, when I can, or any other good quality blue cheese in order to make this supper dish! The only requirements are: good blue cheese and good "Country" style bread or home-made bread. I have used Walnut bread, Multi-grain Granary bread, French Baguette & Ciabatta bread in the past for this dish. There are numerous options and additions too - tomatoes go well on top as does a finely sliced spring onion. This recipe is great for a light supper dish with a crispy salad on the side & a good glass of Red wine too. I have also used this recipe for pre-dinner nibbles - you need to stamp out small rounds of bread if you wish to serve them that way.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the grill the the highest setting and line a grill pan with kitchen foil.
- Put the cheese into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork.
- Add the cream or creme fraiche, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper, salt, (optional as the cheese is already quite salty) & the walnut pieces.
- Mix well & set aside.
- Place all the slices of bread on to the lined grill pan and toast until just golden brown.
- Take out and spread the UNTOASTED side with butter.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the top ensuring it is spread to the edges, otherwise they will burn!
- Sprinkle with the Cayenne pepper.
- Place under the grill and grill for about 2-4 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling & tinged with brown.
- Serve 2 slices per person with a crisp seasonal salad and a good glass or two of Red wine!
- The ultimate supper dish!
- If you wish to serve these as aperitif nibbles, stamp out rounds from the slices of bread and continue to assemble & grill as above. Serves about 8 people that way.
