Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/2 cups cashews
1 cup dried cherries
1/2 lb blue cheese
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, diced
1 12- to 16-oz loaf baguette-style french bread
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to broil.
2. Add the cashews and cherries to a food processor.
Process on high for a short 3 to 5 seconds.
3. Add the cashew and cherry mixture to a bowl.
Crumble the blue cheese into the bowl, and add the pepper using a wooden spoon, mix everything until it’s well combined.
4. Slice, carefully, the baguette into 1/4-to-1/2-inch slices.
Place the slices on a baking sheet, and place the baking sheet in the oven.
Watching it closely, broil for a minute per side to lightly brown.
5. Remove the toasts from the oven, and top each with a large dollop of the blue cheese mixture.
Broil 1 to 2 minutes more to heat cheese mixture.
6. Place the crostini on a platter, and sprinkle the platter with parsley.
