3 ounces blue cheese
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup slivered California Almonds
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup flour for rolling dough

2 tablespoons slivered California Almonds
oil for frying

Directions
Blend blue cheese, cream, 1/4 cup slivered almonds and red bell pepper in a food processor.
Sprinkle countertop with flour and unroll the two pie crusts. Cut 8 (2x3-inch) rectangles out of each crust. Place 1 tablespoon filling each on 8 rectangles. Cover them with the remaining 8 rectangles. Pinch small points in the corners, middle and ends to seal the edges. The packet will have 8 small points.
