Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Blue cheese
- 115 grams Cream cheese
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 60 grams Walnuts, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
Add 1 tablespoon of parsley, 1 tablespoon of chives, garlic powder, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs and seasoning.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap and shape it into a log using your hands or a spatula.
In another shallow dish, combine the remaining parsley, chives, and chopped walnuts.
Unwrap the cheese log from the plastic wrap and roll it in the parsley, chives, and walnut mixture, pressing gently to coat the outside evenly.
Wrap the coated cheese log tightly in a fresh sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
When ready to serve, remove the cheese log from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on a serving platter. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
