Whether you like it or not, blue cheese in salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas packs a distinct flavour punch. No other cheese, or food for that matter, has the distinctively sharp aroma and flavour of blue cheese. And if you generally avoid blue cheese, incorporating it into a recipe rather than eating it on its own is an excellent way to start. Here are a few of our preferred uses for the fantastically pungent cheese.
1. Blue Cheese Dip
This tangy homemade blue cheese dip begs to be dipped into some potato chips or chicken wings. Make a batch in a matter of minutes, and watch it disappear. This is a superb one for snacks when you have guests over.
2. Blue Cheese Ball
What could be superior to a large piece of blue cheese? That's right, a whole ball! When consumed alone, blue cheese can be rather overwhelming. Since it is the centrepiece of this appetiser, cream cheese and cheddar are added to lessen its sharpness. For a delightful flavour and texture variety, you can also sprinkle it with chopped nuts. This cheese ball will definitely be a hit at your next gathering when it is served with crackers, chips, and crudites.
3. Blue Cheese Crostini
These little crisps, which are surprisingly simple to produce, give gatherings a trendy look. In this dish, toasted baguette slices are topped with blue cheese crumbles, chopped walnuts, and fresh pears. A drizzle of sweet and sticky honey binds them all together, adding moisture and sweetness to the otherwise dry and primarily crunchy and salty ingredients.
4. Blue Cheese Dressing
Nothing surpasses a good blue cheese dressing among all the sauces and dips the culinary world has offered. The perfect amount of quirky blue cheese taste is present in this blue cheese dressing, which is delightfully thick and creamy.
It pairs well with a wide variety of foods, including chips, crackers, chicken, sandwiches, and salads.
