Roquefort Butter and Red Pear Tea Sandwiches image

The red skins of the pears are a colorful accent to these simple tea sandwiches. Use the Roquefort butter in other combinations such as with watercress or thinly sliced tomato.

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons water
1 red pear, cored and very thinly sliced
4 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
16 thin slices white bread or brioche

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.
  • In a medium bowl, gently stir Roquefort into butter, leaving small bits of cheese. Be careful not to overmix, or the butter will turn blue. Add pepper.
  • 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.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I found it to be a waste of time and ingredients.

This cake was okay, but I wasn't really impressed. I found the flavor to be a bit too sweet and the texture was a bit too dense.

I followed the instructions exactly and the cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love this recipe, I always make it with chocolate chips instead of red wine and it's always a treat!

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I've never paired red wine and chocolate in a cake before, but it was so good. The cake was moist and the ganache was rich and decadent. I'll definitely be making this again.
