Shape and Chill (optional)
Spoon the mixture onto plastic wrap, roll into a log about 3/4 inch in diameter, twist ends to seal, and refrigerate 30 minutes to firm. Alternatively serve at room temperature for immediate melting over steak or vegetables.
Blue Cheese Butter
- 4
Combine Ingredients
Place 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter in a small bowl. Add 2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese, 1 tsp heavy cream (optional, to loosen the texture), a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp lemon zest if using.
- 5
Mash and Taste
Use a fork to mash the blue cheese into the butter until creamy with small blue cheese pockets remaining for texture. If mixture is too stiff, add the heavy cream teaspoon by teaspoon until you reach desired spreadable consistency. Adjust pepper and salt sparingly (blue cheese is already salty).

Chill or Serve

Garlic Herb Butter

Prep Garlic
Mince 1 medium garlic clove very finely. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, lightly smash the minced garlic with a pinch of salt and let sit 5 minutes to mellow, or briefly sauté in 1 tsp butter until fragrant and cooled.
