BLUE CHEESE BUTTER

Blue Cheese is known for its distinct, rich taste, and buttery texture. Those qualities are wonderfully played up in this butter recipe. Apart from the butter and blue cheese, the only ingredients are salt and pepper, which allows the flavor of the cheese to really shine through. Its creamy, rich taste is perfect to add some contrast to your dinner. It can make simple grilled meat seem like a meal from a five-star restaurant.

This easy condiment is great to make ahead of time and store in the fridge. You can keep it for up to a month and pull it out anytime your dinner could use a little extra flavor. Butter compounds like this one and Maitre d’Hotel Butter are a great way to dress up any meal.

WHAT TO SERVE BLUE CHEESE BUTTER WITH

It’s no secret that Blue Cheese and steak go great together. It’s why we have a recipe for Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon, but making this Blue Cheese Butter is an easy way to add that same bold, salty taste to any steak dinner. Serve this butter with Filet Mignon, Ribeye, or Classic Prime Rib.

You can also make simple grilled meat recipes. Try making an Easy Steak Marinade, then just prepping the steak in a skillet or on your grill. Another option is serving Blue Cheese Butter with other grilled meats like chicken and pork.
