Blue Cheese Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Put the softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the blue cheese, chopped chives, red pepper flakes and ground pepper. Mix until totally combined, scraping the sides as needed.
• Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap on top of a piece of aluminum foil and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap and foil over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic and foil to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, at least 1 hour, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Combine the butter, cheese, and thyme in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Brush the steaks with some canola oil, then season them with salt and cracked black pepper. Grill until the meat chars on both sides and is cooked to a medium-rare doneness. Transfer the steaks to a platter, top them with some of the butter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine butter, blue cheese, parsley, basil and garlic.
• Set aside.
• Grill steaks to desired doneness.
• Top each steak with a generous amount of the butter mixture.
• Chill the remaining butter for another time.
• (Try the butter mixture tossed with hot cooked vegetables).

Steps:

• Gently mash together all ingredients in a bowl with a fork, leaving some texture.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, blue cheese, parsley, brandy, garlic, onion powder, pepper, and hot sauce.
• With a rubber spatula, place the mixture width wise down the middle of a 12x8 sheet of tinfoil or wax paper, leaving about an inch free at either end.
• Roll the foil or paper up lengthwise to create a little cylinder of butter.
• Seal the ends of the cylinder and freeze for at least 1 hour before using.
• Cut with a warm knife.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve on top of the steaks.
• Refrigerate leftover in an airtight container in the fridge.
