Blue Stilton Savouries Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium size saucepan, add the vegetables, and fry gently for 5 minutes until soft but not browned.
• Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the stock and return to heat. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously until the soup thickens. Allow to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
• Cool soup slightly and press through a sieve. Return soup to pan, add the milk, and heat gently. Stir in the Stilton, salt and pepper, and heavy cream until melted. Blend soup for extra thickness.
• Do not allow soup to boil at this point, it will curdle.
• To serve, garnish with croutons.

Steps:

• My favorite Stilton Blue cheese is made by Colston Bassett. It's one of the unique Stilton cheese production facilities in the UK. They hand ladle the cheese curds into every single form.

Steps:

• Put the flour, butter and Stilton in a food processor and mix briefly to form a smooth dough. You may also knead all the ingredients together by hand. Wrap and chill for 1 hour or until firm.
• Lightly grease some baking sheets.
• Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch squares, then cut the squares in half diagonally to make triangles.
• Place on the baking sheets and chill for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 190C/375°F.
• Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
• Bake 5-7 minutes, or until golden.
• Transfer to wire rack to cool.
