Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 60 grams Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
2. Using a fork or a spatula, gently mash the butter to make it smooth and pliable.
3. Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the bowl and mix with the butter until well combined. You can leave small chunks of cheese for added texture, or fully incorporate it for a smoother butter.
4. Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend all the ingredients.
5. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on the countertop. Spoon the Gorgonzola butter mixture onto the center, shaping it into a log or cylinder.
6. Roll the plastic wrap or parchment paper around the butter, twisting the ends to seal it tightly.
7. Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving. For quicker results, place it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes.
8. Once firm, slice the butter into rounds as needed and use it as a topping or spread. Store any unused butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
