The best part about making compound butter is the simplicity of the recipe. It usually requires only two ingredients, but the flavor combinations are endless. Our blue cheese butter has a few extra ingredients for a little more kick.

Here is What You Need

• Butter. You can use salted or unsalted butter but make sure you let it sit out and get soft.
• Blue cheese. The type of blue cheese you use will dictate the flavor and texture. I personally like to use a creamy blue cheese like Stilton or Chiribogu Blue but any style of blue cheese will taste great in this compound butter.
• Chives. Chives add a mild hint of onion flavor that goes well with the blue cheese without overpowering the flavor. You can omit them or substitute them with another herb if you like.
• Salt. Depending on how much salt that may already be in your butter and blue cheese, you may not need any additional salt.
• Pepper. Freshly cracked black pepper adds a finishing touch to the blue cheese.

Tips and Tricks for Great Compound Butter

• Any brand of butter will work for this recipe, but if you want to get fancy, then select European butter. European butter is higher in butterfat, richer, creamier, and more decadent.
• The star of this recipe is the blue cheese. The list of blue cheeses is long and they range in flavor from mild to overpoweringly strong. The texture also ranges from dry and crumbly to meltingly smooth and creamy.
• Choose the variety of cheese that you like the best. Roquefurt and Stilton have a fairly strong, pungent flavor while Danish Blue and Gorgonzola are fairly mild in comparison.
• Let the butter and blue cheese sit at room temperature to get soft so it is easy to blend.
• Don’t add salt until you taste the compound butter. Spread a bit of the blue cheese butter on a cracker and give it a taste-test then add salt if needed.
