ROQUEFORT BUTTER AND RED PEAR TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine lemon juice and the water in a small bowl; immerse sliced pears until ready to use to prevent discoloration. Blot dry with paper towels before using.

• Spread a thin layer of Roquefort butter on two slices of bread. Line one with pears, overlapping slightly, and top with the other bread slice. Use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut into three rectangles (about 1 by 3 inches). Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover with damp paper towels until ready to serve.

When ready to serve, heat the oil in a deep fryer, or 2 1/2 inches of oil in a deep pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, to 365 degrees F. Working in batches of 6 or 7, drop the breaded cheese cubes into the hot oil and fry until evenly browned, about 30 seconds moving them around often. Drain on paper towels.
