Pear Blue Cheese & Walnut Focaccia

Pear, Blue Cheese, Walnut Focaccia

This is a great meatless sandwich that has bold flavors and pairs wonderfully with white wines. Try crushing the walnuts or chopping them into rough bits to make them less of a mouthful in the sandwich. If you really need a meat in this dish grilled chicken is a great option. Roasting the pears adds a complex flavor to this dish as well. Great for sliders as a more filling appetizer too.
