Blue Cheese Toasts

This is an appetizer toast to Chris (pun intended).  This caught my eye because of Chris' love of blue cheese.  We'll be trying this for sure.

16 slices  firm white bread, crusts removed
4oz. blue cheese, softened and rind removed
2 tbsp. margarine
2 tbsp.  finely chopped fresh basil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease large cookie sheet.  With a rolling pin, roll each bread slice paper thin.  Spread about 2tsp. softened blue cheese over 1 slice of bread; top with second slice, pressing gently to form a sandwich.  Repeat with remaining bread and cheese.

In a small saucepan, melt margarine over low heat.  Remove from heat; stir in basil.  Brush some basil mixture over the top of each sandwich.  Cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters, cut each quarter in half.  Arrange triangles on cookie sheet.  Bake 12 minutes, or until golden.  Serve hot.
