together. Add the cognac, if using, season with pepper and stir in the
walnuts. Toast the bread lightly on both sides. Spread the cheese over the
toast, then return it to the oven or broiler just long enough for the
butter and cheese to melt into the toast a little. It shouldn't melt
completely, but just soften. Remove the toasts from the oven, dust them
with more pepper and cut them into smaller pieces. Serve warm. Cool, juicy
slices of pears would make a perfect accompaniment to the cheese and
walnuts.
