Ingredients

3-ounce package cream cheese (regular or reduced fat), softened
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil leaves
8 slices walnut, honey-wheat or peasant-style bread

3 cups sliced, cooked turkey
2 small ripe pears, thinly sliced
8 slices bacon, cooked and drained

Directions

In small bowl, beat together cream cheese, blue cheese, garlic and basil until smooth. Spread on one side of each slice of bread.
