Ingredients

  1. 1 baguette, sliced a scant 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal
  2. Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 8 ounces Cabrales blue cheese
  5. 1 block quince paste, thinly sliced
  6. Cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the bread until toasted on both sides, about 2 minutes (the bread should be crisp but still tender on the inside, not brittle). Brush the tops with olive oil and season with salt.
  3. Top each bread slice with a thin slice of cheese and some quince paste. Season with cracked black pepper.
