Ingredients
- 150 grams Stilton blue cheese
- 25 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 100 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon English mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 30 grams Walnuts
- 4 slices Crusty bread (e.g., sourdough or country loaf)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Finely chop the walnuts and set them aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk to the roux in small amounts, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Stilton cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and egg yolk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped walnuts, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
Step 7
Lightly brush the slices of crusty bread with olive oil on both sides and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Toast the bread in the oven for about 5 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and slightly golden.
Step 8
Spoon the Stilton and walnut mixture generously onto each slice of toast, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Step 9
Return the toasts to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and beginning to caramelize.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with the reserved walnuts and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if using.
Step 11
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
