American | Blue Cheese Butter

Posted on January 18, 2014

Tasty over steak or burgers.

Yield: 30 servings

Ingredients

2 sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature

1/4 cup minced parsley

3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

6 ounces of creamy blue cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

5 turns of freshly ground pepper

 

Method

Place the butter in the bowl of a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Place butter mixture on a large sheet of plastic wrap and form into a cylinder, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll up in the plastic wrap, pushing as you go, to form a tight log. Refrigerate or freeze until needed. Can freeze up to 6 months. (I used a small ice cream scoop, 1 tablespoon size, to make small balls. Then I individually wrapped the balls in Saran wrap and put them in a Ziplock bag for freezing. This way you can take individual servings out of the freezer.)
