Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Toast the Walnuts

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the walnuts evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Slice the Cheese

    While the walnuts are toasting, take the Idiazabal cheese and slice it into thin wedges or cubes. The thickness can be adjusted based on personal preference.

  3. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    Once the walnuts have cooled, combine them with the sliced Idiazabal cheese on a serving platter. You can arrange them artistically for an appealing presentation.

  4. 4

    Serve

    This dish can be served as an appetizer or a snack. Optionally, you can drizzle a little bit of honey or balsamic glaze over the top for added flavor.
