Danish Blue Cheese Toasts

• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, chopped walnuts, or slivered almonds
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Twenty-four 1/2-inch slices coarse-textured Italian or French bread
• 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter

1. Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven or, if you are tripling the recipe, position the oven racks so they are evenly spaced, with the second rack in the center of the oven.
2. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500F.
3. While the oven is preheating, combine the blue cheese, mozzarella, pine nuts, garlic, and pepper in a bowl.
4. Brush each slice of bread with olive oil and place on a rimless cookie sheet.
5. Roast the bread on the center rack for 3 to 5 minutes, until toasted on one side.
6. Remove the bread from the oven and turn over.
7. Spread each slice with the cheese mixture, pressing down slightly with a fork.
8. Return the bread to the oven and roast until the cheese mixture has melted.
9. Serve immediately.
