PARMESAN AND WALNUT BRUSCHETTA 
3 oz. Parmesan cheese (about 3/4 c., grated)
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. olive oil
1/2 loaf narrow French bread (about 4 oz.)

Heat broiler. Grate cheese. Combine 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup walnuts and salt in food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add 1/4 cup oil and process until fairly smooth. Cut bread on the diagonal into 24 1/2 inch slices. Brush on both sides with remaining 1/2 cup of oil. Toast bread on baking sheet under broiler, about 30 seconds/side.

Remove from oven and spread 1 slice of each slice with walnuts and cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Press remaining walnuts on top. Broil until cheese begins to melt, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
