Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams blue cheese, crumbled
- 230 grams cream cheese, softened
- 30 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, softened cream cheese, and softened unsalted butter.
Using a fork or hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If a chunkier texture is preferred, leave some small blue cheese crumbles intact.
Stir in the minced garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice, mixing well to combine.
Add the chopped parsley, freshly ground black pepper, and salt (if needed) to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Transfer the blue cheese spread to a serving bowl or airtight container. If not serving immediately, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread. Enjoy!
