Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams blue cheese (crumbled)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast them in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
Let the roasted garlic cool slightly, then peel away the skins and mash the cloves with a fork into a smooth paste.
In a medium bowl, combine the room-temperature butter, blue cheese, mashed garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Use a spoon or spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface, and spoon the butter mixture onto it. Roll and shape the butter into a log, twisting the ends of the wrap to secure it.
Refrigerate the butter log for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Alternatively, freeze for quicker setting or longer storage.
Slice the Bleu Garlic Butter into rounds as needed, and use it to enhance your favorite dishes.
