I knew I wanted to make a breakfast bread for Breakfast Week, and for inspiration I had three very different things in mind: my grandmother's English muffin toasting bread, my favorite thin dark 100% rye made by Rudolf's Bakery, and the fruity, nutty, seediness of the "truly everything" bagels I make.
This Blue Cheese Cheesecake with Baby Greens, Candied Walnuts and a Pear Vinaigrette recipe contains blue cheese, cream cheese, vegetable oil, toasted walnuts, walnut halves and more.
