Blue Cheese Butter
Ingredients
- 4 ounces blue, Stilton or roquefort cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Directions
Crumble cheese and place in a food processor or blender. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. With machine running, add hot butter to cheese in a fine stream. Blend until color is homogeneous and mixture is smooth. Let stand at room temperature until butter reaches a spoonable consistency. Use immediately, or refrigerate or freeze for later use.
Blending butter with savory flavorings seems to intensify them and artfully blends their colors as well. Seasoned butters make an excellent topping for any roasted, broiled, or barbecued meat, poultry, or fish. The butters can be made up to four days ahead and refrigerated up to week; they can also be frozen two to three months.
