Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 60 grams blue cheese
• 2 medium shallots
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the shallots.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, blue cheese, cooled shallots, finely chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and roll it tightly, twisting the ends to seal.

Step 7

Chill the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up or in the freezer for 30 minutes if you're in a hurry.

Step 8

Once firm, slice into medallions or use as needed. Store the remaining butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
