Description:
GREAT WITH WINGS! This is an adaptation of Helen Corbitt’s Roquefort Dressing. Made with Blue Stilton, it is a flavorful blue cheese dressing. Not so mild as standard blue but not so overpowering as Roquefort. I always make it with the requested portion of Beau Monde, but then wish I had reduced it slightly so you may want to make it a scant 1/2 t. Also, to serve as a thick dip, you can reduce the half and half to 1/2 c.
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 oz | Cream Cheese |
| 1/2 cup | Stilton Cheese |
| 2/3 cup | Half-and-Half |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/8 tsp | Garlic Powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Fresh Ground Black Pepper |
| 1/4 tsp | Prepared Yellow Mustard |
| 1/2 cup | Mayonnaise |
Instructions:
-
Blend cheeses with the seasonings. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Stilton cheese, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and prepared yellow mustard.
-
Add mayo alternately with cream. Slowly add the mayonnaise, alternating with the half-and-half, until everything is well incorporated.
-
Whip until smooth and refrigerate. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
-
Serve and enjoy! Use this delicious Blue Cheese Dressing with your favorite salads, as a dipping sauce for wings, or as a flavorful topping for grilled meats.
Tips:
-
Adjust Beau Monde seasoning: If you find the Beau Monde seasoning to be too strong, start with a scant 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to your taste.
-
Thick Dip Option: For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of half-and-half to 1/2 cup. This will make the dressing perfect for dipping veggies or chips.
-
Make Ahead: This dressing gets even better as it sits, so feel free to make it a day ahead for parties or gatherings.
-
Storage: Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Remember to give it a good stir before using.
-
Versatile Use: Besides salads and wings, try this dressing as a spread for sandwiches or wraps, or even as a flavorful sauce for pasta dishes.
