Creamed Blue Cheese And Roast Beetroot Toasts Recipe

Creamed Blue Cheese and Roast Beetroot Toasts

From bluessinger9 15 years ago

This dish is from the River Cottage and is good for parties. You could also serve it, rather than on toast, inside thin slices of seared beef fillet.

Preheat the oven to 375F
Wrap the beetroot loosely in foil and roast for about an hour until really tender.
Leave to cool then peel off the skin with your fingers, slice into wedges and toss with a little olive oil.
Beat together the cheese, crème fraiche, chilli and lemon zest and season.
To serve, spread a little of the blue cheese mix on each square of toast and top with a wedge of beetroot and a few thyme leaves.

Yes, wholemeal bread toasted (I am originally from the UK and the terms brown and white bread are obvious there - sorry!) I think this would work very well on pumpernickel - the key is for the base to be very crunchy and be able to hold together in the seconds it will remain on the plate :)

Very nice recipe - beetroots get such a nice caramelized taste when you bake them. You mentioned brown toast - do you mean wheat bread toasted? I wonder how would this work on a pumpernickel bread.
