Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams blue cheese
- 2 medium shallots
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Peel and finely mince the shallots.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, blue cheese, cooled shallots, finely chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Use a fork or spatula to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined and smooth.
Place the butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and roll it tightly, twisting the ends to seal.
Chill the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up or in the freezer for 30 minutes if you're in a hurry.
Once firm, slice into medallions or use as needed. Store the remaining butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
