Using up blue cheese?

acpgee

We opened up the package of a rather large piece of blue cheese to make blue cheese sauce to go on a batch of frozen homemade potato gnocchi. The leftovers will now have to be used up pretty quickly as it doesn't keep long once opened. My usual repertoire is

-blue cheese blitzed with low fat yoghurt for dipping veggie sticks or baked chicken wings
-green salad with blue cheese and fruit such as apple or pear and eventually candied nuts

Any other ideas?

Blue-cheese stuffed dates, add an almond if feeling fancy. Best quick appetizer ever.

Crumbled over soup, with pumpkin seeds and shredded kale.

Warm steak salad, with blue cheese, cucumber, sundries tomatoes, balsamic.

Blue cheese dressing.
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup buttermilk
3 oz blue cheese

It's fabulous.

You can also freeze the blue cheese. We routinely by a big block and then freeze it in portions to make blue cheese dressing, or use for other recipes.

Do you dredge in flour and/or egg before pan frying?

Try a dollop in the cheese mix when you make homemade mac and cheese. When you're feeling the need to be indulgent, that is, LOL! (Doesn't need a lot, adds a subtext to the flavor).

Tomato and avocado salad with lime or honey vinaigrette. Blue cheese and avocado provides richness for all the acid, slight sweetness from tomato and honey.

I made an "orzotto" the other day - a risotto style dish made with orzo in other words.
Blue cheese (I used Stilton) , pine nuts, tenderstem broccoli, rocket etc...
Very simple to cook (more like assemble!).

It was good but personally for my taste buds I would increase the Stilton, cook the broccoli separately as it was a bit too chewy, reduce or eliminate the lemon juice and zest (or save for a G&T...) as that was a bit too lemony. I also wouldn't add salt as the cheese is salty enough and doesn't need more.


Baked mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese are delicious too.

Leftover blue cheese? That's nonsense!

I love it on steak sandwiches or burgers with deeply caramelized onions. Or on ham sandwiches with sweet/hot pickles and hot peppers. It goes so well with slightly sweeter flavor profiles.
