If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will know how much I love blue cheese. It is my absolute favourite cheese! I love how pungent it is and I use it a lot in my cooking. I made these Walnut Roquefort Sables for Christmas and even my husband, who on the contrary is not a fan of blue cheese, loved them. So much so that he asked me to make another batch! The cheese flavour is subtle and the cookies are buttery and crunchy. I love the extra texture given by the walnuts on the top. They make for a delicious and very classy appetiser and go really well with a glass of white wine. Enjoy!

Walnut Roquefort Sables - a mouth-watering appetiser or snack idea.

Cut the log into 80 mm – ⅓″ slices. Top each cookie with some crushed walnuts (press them down slightly so they don’t fall off).

When cooked, let them cool down on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely.

Store them in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
It looks so good! I’ll try it for a social eating event on Eatvibe! Thank you!
