Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Season the Onions

    Once the onions are caramelized, add Cajun spice, black pepper, and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.

  3. 3

    Combine with Cheese

    Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the smoked blue cheese until it is well combined with the caramelized onions.

  4. 4

    Serve

    This mixture can be served warm as a topping for grilled meats, served on toasted bread, or as a flavorful addition to salads.
