New Orleans Diablotins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup walnuts, finely ground
1 pinch cayenne
16 slices French bread (1/3-inch thick)
1/2 cup butter, softened

Preparation

Combine Roquefort, walnuts and cayenne.
Trim crusts from bread, then cut each slice into three long strips about 1 inch wide. Spread butter lightly on one side and toast on a cookie sheet in a 200-degree oven for about 5 minutes, until light golden.
Spread cheese mixture generously on unbuttered side and broil briefly, until very lightly browned. Serve hot or slightly cooled.
