Walnut Bread Toasts with Blue Cheese and Figs
This is the kind of recipe my students always ask me for—easy to make and delivers great results. Here in San Francisco, we can always find Acme's walnut loaf, which is perfect for this recipe. The flavor of savory nut bread with the tangy blue cheese are a perfect balance to the sweet figs!
