- 14 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
- Toast pine nuts by placing them in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Toast, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the nuts have browned evenly.
- Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Prepare the grill.

- Oil the grate.
- Brush the tomato slices with olive oil on both sides and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill for 1 to 2 minutes, turning the slices every 30 seconds or so, until they are lightly charred on both sides.
- Transfer the tomato slices to a platter or individual plates; top each with some of the crumbled Cabrales cheese.
- Drizzle evenly with the extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar.
- Top with pine nuts and serve immediately.
