Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 ounces Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until it is pliable but not melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese.
Using a fork or a small spatula, gently mash and mix the butter and blue cheese together until they are well incorporated but still slightly chunky.
Add the finely chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper to the butter mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Transfer the butter mixture onto the center of the wrap.
Shape the butter into a log by folding the wrap over the mixture and rolling it, ensuring an even cylindrical shape. Twist the ends of the wrap tightly to seal.
Refrigerate the butter log for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once chilled, slice the compound butter into discs as needed for serving.
