Stilton Blue Recipes

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and Stilton together for 1 minute, or until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour, salt and pepper and mix until it's in large crumbles, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of water and mix until combined.
• Dump the dough onto a floured board, press it into a ball, and roll into a 12-inch long log. Brush the log completely with the egg wash. Spread the walnuts in a square on a cutting board and roll the log back and forth in the walnuts, pressing lightly, and distributing them evenly on the outside of the log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 4 days.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the log 3/8ths-inch thick with a small, sharp knife and place the crackers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 22 minutes until very lightly browned. Rotate the pan once during baking. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Shave or crumble about 1- 1 1/2 CUPS of the Blue cheese into a small heavy sauce pan.
• Add about 1/4 cup Hellman's full fat mayonnaise. (This is the emumiant that keeps everything together).
• I add a LOT (a full teaspoon) of pepper, I grind it right into the pan. Fresh really makes a difference.
• Add salt to taste (I don't use any if I use the rind of the cheese as it is often hardened with salt).
• Warm the pan slowly while constantly stirring. It will melt, don't give up.
• If you heat it too fast, or don't still it will separate.
• The mayo will forgive some sins, but not many, so stir!
• This will make a THICK sauce.
• More mayo will thin it some.
• Milk can thin it if it is too strong.

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:

• Coarsely mash Stilton with a fork in a bowl. Stir in sour cream, water, vinegar, and pepper until combined well, then stir in chives. Season with salt if desired.

Steps:

• Place the cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, vinegar, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth.
• Place a wedge of lettuce on each serving plate. Pour enough dressing over the lettuce to moisten. Serve immediately.
