Steps:
- Finely chop walnuts. In a small heavy skillet cook walnuts in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a kettle of boiling salted water blanch beans 1 minute and immediately transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain beans and gently peel away outer skins.
- Return kettle of water to a boil and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cook potatoes 8 minutes, or until just tender, and transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain potatoes in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl stir together Gorgonzola and cream cheese until combined well. (Canapé ingredients may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Keep toasted walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature. Chill beans and potatoes separately in sealable plastic bags and chill Gorgonzola cream covered with plastic wrap.)
- To assemble canapés:
- Spread about 1 teaspoon Gorgonzola cream on each potato slice and top each canapé with a bean, pressing down gently. Sprinkle canapés with walnuts. Canapés may be assembled 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Gorgonzola: Opt for a high-quality, creamy, and flavorful gorgonzola cheese. Look for varieties that have been aged for at least 3 months, as they offer a more complex taste.
- Balance the Flavors: Experiment with different flavor combinations to create a well-balanced canape. Consider pairing the richness of gorgonzola with sweet elements like honey or fruit, or savory ingredients like nuts or cured meats.
- Texture is Key: Add textural contrast to your canapes. Incorporate crispy elements like toasted bread or crackers, creamy components like gorgonzola mousse, and crunchy toppings like chopped walnuts or pistachios.
- Presentation Matters: Take the time to arrange your canapes attractively. Use colorful ingredients and garnish with herbs, edible flowers, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an elegant touch.
- Keep it Simple: While it's tempting to go all out with your canapes, remember that simplicity often yields the best results. Focus on a few key ingredients and let their flavors shine through.
Conclusion:
Gorgonzola canapes offer a delightful combination of flavors, textures, and colors, making them perfect for any occasion.
