TOAST WALNUTS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush one side of each slice of bread with melted butter, and place butter side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
• In a small bowl, stir together the blue cheese, softened butter, salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the tops of the toasted bread slices, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
• Bake for 6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is melted and bubbly. Arrange on a serving tray and garnish with chopped parlsley.

Steps:

• FOR OVEN TOASTING, this method is good for large amounts as well as small amounts.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Do not chop or mince the walnut halves before toasting.
• Place nuts in a single layer in an ungreased, shallow pan or rimmed cookie sheet in order to prevent spillage.
• Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until the nuts are golden brown.
• Stir or shake the pan during toasting in order to aid in their browning evenly.
• Be careful not to burn the walnuts.
• Remove the pan to cool and sprinkle with optional salt.
• Toasted, deep golden-colored walnuts will continue to brown slightly after they're removed from the oven.
• FOR STOVE-TOP TOASTING, this method is good for small amounts.
• Do not chop or mince the walnut halves before toasting.
• Heat walnuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and smell toasted.
• Since the nuts will burn easily in a skillet, you must stir constantly to ensure even toasting until the nuts turn a rich, golden brown.
• Remove walnuts to a plate or bowl to cool and sprinkle with optional salt.
