Blue Cheese Recipes Anyone??
So, basically I'm a sucker for buying things on sale. My latest find was a 225g wedge of blue cheese for $1.99 at my local grocery store. I've eaten about half of it, but after a while simple cheese + crackers just doesn't excite me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could use the rest of my cheese for? Thanks!
I absolutely love blue cheese over a steak, or even on a burger.
You could crumble it on a salad as well.
You are making me crave blue cheese!
Mmmm.....love blue cheese! Try crumbling it over a salad, or, one of my favorites- make a buffalo chicken wrap: grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese wrapped in a tortilla....so good!
Mmmm blue cheese. I like it on my sandwiches, or just as a snack dipped in honey.

I find that on a salad it overwhelms the other ingredients, but I'm seriously considering the steak idea. ![]()
on a steak salad. Perfect.

i like how you think!
I love blue cheese! So strong and bold in flavor. You can stuff steak with it, or you can make blue cheese dressing. I enjoy this recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/blue_cheese _dressing1.html
Or you can use it to top/stuff a hamburger with. All this talk is making me hungry.
I like my blue cheese over thick cut tomato slices with veeeery thinly sliced red onion. A little balsamic vinegar and olive oil drizzled on top, and you don't need much else!
edited to add: this also goes excellent over dark leafy greens (mixed greens, spinach)
Instead of crackers, try it on crunchy slices of pear or apple. The flavor combination is great.
I love buffalo wings but hate all the cals/fat so I make chicken meatballs. I take ground chicken, blue cheese, shredded carrot, diced celery, diced onion and make meatballs out of them. I dip in some egg white and roll in crushed cornflakes, and then bake. Serve hot sauce on the side, yum! you can adjust the ingredients to your liking.
What an amazing idea missirish! I'm from Buffalo, and as much as I love wings, I very rarely eat them. We do have a tendency to make a lot of different things with hot sauce and blue cheese, (wraps, sandwiches, pizza, hamburgers, even dip) but I never would have thought of the meatball idea...and you can sneak some veggies in there too!
Recipe for you
Thanks so much for all the amazing ideas! mmmm... on steak, salad, buffalo chicken wrap... sounds delish. Never tried eating it straight + dipped in honey, but it sounds uber-tasty. Keep the ideas coming :)
