Gorgonzola Butter

Cooking Conversion Table

Ingredients:

1 pound soft butter
2/3 pound Gorgonzola cheese (use a stronger blue cheese if you like a stronger flavor, see Blue Cheese Butter )
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon fleshly ground black pepper
Instructions:

Cream the butter until smooth
Gently fold in the Gorgonzola cheese, Worcestershire and fresh pepper (some pieces - small chunks - of cheese should remain)
Roll in plastic wrap, twist ends and store in refrigerator
Cut into slices to top steaks

Now that wasn't difficult, was it? :-)

Please remember to do some experimenting with this basic restaurant recipe for Gorgonzola Butter.

Gorgonzola melts easily and can be incorporated quickly into mayonnaise, butter and sour cream for sauces, dips and dressings. Add a few shallots, or thyme or rosemary or basil or parsley or ... Your choice!
