Parmesan and Walnut Bruschetta

3 oz Parmesan cheese, about 3/4 cup grated
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
salt
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 loaf narrow French bread (about 2-1/4" diameter)

Heat broiler. Grate cheese. Combine 1/2 cup of the cheese, 1/4 cup of the
walnuts, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a food processor. Whir until the nuts are
finely chopped. Add 1/4 cup of the oil and whir until fairly smooth. Cut
bread on the diagonal into 1/2" slices. Brush both sides with remaining
1/2 oil. Toast bread under the broiler, about 30 seconds per side. Spread
one side of each slice with walnut and cheese mixture. Sprinkle with the
remaining 1/4 cup walnuts on the top. Broil until the cheese brings to
melt, about 30 seconds.
