1/4 teaspoon
cayenne, or to taste
-

scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced (about 6 tablespoons)
-
4
thick slices sourdough
-
6 ounces
very creamy blue cheese, room temperature

When you’re ready to eat, toast the bread, however dark you like it. While it’s still warm, spread each slice thickly with blue cheese. Top with green peach salad. And don’t slice the bread in half! It will become unmanageable.
