Ingredients

• 226 grams unsalted butter
• 60 grams blue cheese (crumbled)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast them in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Let the roasted garlic cool slightly, then peel away the skins and mash the cloves with a fork into a smooth paste.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the room-temperature butter, blue cheese, mashed garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Use a spoon or spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Place a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface, and spoon the butter mixture onto it. Roll and shape the butter into a log, twisting the ends of the wrap to secure it.

Step 7

Refrigerate the butter log for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Alternatively, freeze for quicker setting or longer storage.

Step 8

Slice the Bleu Garlic Butter into rounds as needed, and use it to enhance your favorite dishes.
