Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the 0.5 baguette into 1/2-inch rounds and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
Step 2
Toast the bread in the oven until golden and crisp, about 8-10 minutes, flipping once halfway.
Step 3
While the bread toasts, chop the 0.5 red bell pepper into thin strips and roughly chop the 0.5 cup walnuts.
Step 4
Spread the 4 oz blue cheese onto the warm crostini, then top with the walnuts and red pepper strips. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve.
Step 5
Optional: sprinkle with a pinch of salt or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flavor.
