Ingredients
- 225 grams Blue cheese
- 115 grams Cream cheese
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 60 grams Walnuts, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of parsley, 1 tablespoon of chives, garlic powder, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs and seasoning.
Step 3
Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap and shape it into a log using your hands or a spatula.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, combine the remaining parsley, chives, and chopped walnuts.
Step 5
Unwrap the cheese log from the plastic wrap and roll it in the parsley, chives, and walnut mixture, pressing gently to coat the outside evenly.
Step 6
Wrap the coated cheese log tightly in a fresh sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Step 7
When ready to serve, remove the cheese log from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on a serving platter. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
