Savory Pecan-Crusted Blue Cheese Bites: Substituting Peanuts?

In summary, you can substitute peanuts, almonds, or walnuts for pecans in this recipe. However, the taste and texture may vary slightly. You do not need to make any adjustments to the recipe, but make sure to chop the nuts finely. Using peanuts instead of pecans will add a stronger and sweeter flavor to the blue cheese bites. It is not recommended to use pre-salted peanuts, but if you do, you can adjust the amount of salt in the recipe.

I need to make the Savory Pecan-Crusted Blue Cheese Bites from the new appetizer cookbook for an event. The recipe calls for 2 cups of toasted pecans..... any thoughts if the pecans could be substituted with peanuts?! Got home and had the wrong nuts .. and won't be near the supermarket before the event. Thoughts?!
 
I think texture-wise it nwould be fine, but I wonder about the taste combination. Try a tiny bite of the blue cheese and peanut together and see what you think.
 
Hi there! If you don't have pecans on hand, you can definitely substitute with peanuts for the Savory Pecan-Crusted Blue Cheese Bites. The flavor and texture may be slightly different, but it should still turn out delicious. Just make sure to toast the peanuts beforehand to enhance their flavor. Good luck with your event!
