- 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
- 4 ounces blue cheese you can use less if you prefer if you're using a really strong blue cheese like Stilton or Roquefort, at room temperature
- Optional: Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley thyme rosemary or chives or some finely minced garlic
Place the butter and blue cheese in a bowl and mash with a fork until thoroughly combined.
Some tiny chunks of blue cheese is great for texture.
Scoop the mixture onto some plastic wrap on a flat surface. Roll up the blue cheese butter in the plastic wrap, pressing and forming it into a log.
Chill for at least a couple of hours before serving. This will keep in the fridge for the life of the blue cheese (check the expiration date) or can be frozen.
