Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 oz Roquefort cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 oz of crumbled Roquefort cheese, 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of freshly chopped chives, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled Roquefort cheese. Use a fork or a hand mixer to blend them together until they are well combined and creamy.
- Add the chopped chives and lemon juice to the cheese mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the chives evenly throughout the spread.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be cautious with the salt, as Roquefort cheese is already quite salty. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Once everything is combined, taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for acidity or more chives for a fresh flavor.
- Transfer the Chive Roquefort Spread to a serving bowl. You can also refrigerate it for a short time to allow the flavors to meld together, but it can be served immediately if desired.
- Serve the spread with an assortment of crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy your delicious Chive Roquefort Spread!
Tips
- • For the creamiest texture, ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature before mixing. • Use fresh chives for the brightest, most vibrant flavor—avoid dried herbs. • Go easy on additional salt due to Roquefort's natural saltiness. • For a smoother consistency, use an electric mixer instead of a fork. • Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days to let flavors intensify. • Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal taste and spreadability. • Experiment with accompaniments like crusty baguette, crisp vegetable sticks, or even as a gourmet sandwich spread.
