During the holidays, there’s a tendency for impromptu gatherings at my house. Crostini are one of my go-tos — they’re so simple and they pair well with cocktails or wine.

Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced a scant 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- Kosher salt
- 8 ounces Cabrales blue cheese
- 1 block quince paste, thinly sliced
- Cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- 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.
