ROQUEFORT BUTTER AND RED PEAR TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice and the water in a small bowl; immerse the sliced pears until ready to use to prevent discoloration. Blot dry with paper towels before using.
• In a medium bowl, gently stir the Roquefort into the butter, leaving small bits of cheese. Be careful not to overmix, or the butter will turn blue. Add the pepper.
• Spread a thin layer of Roquefort butter on 2 slices of bread. Line 1 slice with pears, overlapping slightly, and top with the other bread slice. Use a serrated knife to trim the crusts and cut into 3 rectangles (about 1 × 3 inches). Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cover with damp paper towels until ready to serve.

• Cover with the remaining four slices of bread.
• Wrap each sandwich securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and mixture is set.
• Unwrap the sandwiches and trim the crusts.
• Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles or squares.
• Note: To add a little color to the sandwiches, you might like to sprinkle a bit of the herbs on top of each square or trangle.
