Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the walnuts and set them aside.
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.
Gradually add the milk to the roux in small amounts, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
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.
Stir in the chopped walnuts, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
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.
Spoon the Stilton and walnut mixture generously onto each slice of toast, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Return the toasts to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and beginning to caramelize.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with the reserved walnuts and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if using.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
