1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened slightly
1/4 pear, cut thinly lengthwise
2 tablespoons Danish blue cheese, crumbled

Directions
Lay the slice of rugbrød on a clean work surface or serving plate.
Spread the softened butter evenly across the entire surface of the rye bread.
Arrange the thinly sliced pear pieces in an overlapping pattern across the buttered bread.
Distribute the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the pear slices.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped toasted hazelnuts over the top of the sandwich.
Serve immediately on a small plate or cutting board, and cut into two halves if sharing.
