Description

Imagine a pat of butter, not just any butter, but one transformed into a symphony of flavors and textures. This walnut and blue cheese butter is an ode to savory indulgence, a simple yet elegant addition that elevates everyday meals into something truly special. The creamy richness of the butter serves as the perfect canvas for the pungent tang of blue cheese, creating a delightful contrast that awakens the palate.

Each bite offers a burst of salty, earthy notes, balanced by the subtle sweetness of the butter itself. Finely chopped walnuts are folded into this creamy base, providing a delightful textural counterpoint. Their satisfying crunch adds another layer of complexity, enhancing the overall experience and preventing the richness from becoming overwhelming.

A whisper of garlic weaves its way through the butter, lending a subtle aromatic depth that ties all the flavors together. It's a background note, present but not overpowering, adding a savory warmth that lingers on the tongue. This butter is incredibly versatile, a culinary chameleon that adapts to a variety of dishes.

Imagine it melting slowly over steamed green beans or asparagus, infusing the vegetables with its rich, savory essence. Picture a perfectly grilled steak, topped with a generous dollop of this butter, the heat causing it to melt and mingle with the juices, creating an intensely flavorful sauce. Or perhaps a pan-fried pork chop, its crispy exterior giving way to tender meat, enhanced by the creamy, nutty, and tangy notes of the butter.

The possibilities are endless. It can be slathered on warm bread, used to dress roasted chicken, or even stirred into mashed potatoes for an extra touch of luxury. This flavored butter is more than just a condiment; it’s a flavor enhancer, a way to add depth, complexity, and a touch of elegance to any dish.

Its unique combination of creamy, tangy, nutty, and savory elements makes it a truly unforgettable culinary experience.

    ⅔ cup
    3.
    Blue Cheese

    ⅓ cup
    4.
    Garlic, Powder
    Garlic, Powder
    ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

    1.
    Bring the butter to room temperature so that it is soft and easy to mash. Add to a mixing bowl and lightly mash with a fork. Add the chopped walnuts to the bowl along with the garlic powder and crumble in the blue cheese. You should not need to add salt as the cheese will be very salty; however, this is optional.
    2.
    Mash the butter together with the walnuts, garlic powder, and blue cheese. Mix well to ensure the flavorings are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Taste and adjust seasonings or add a little extra cheese if desired. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
    3.
    Scoop the butter mix out from the bowl onto a square of plastic wrap or baking paper. Form a rough log shape from the butter using your hands. Roll the plastic wrap/paper up tightly around the butter, twisting the ends tightly to secure. Transfer the butter to the fridge for 2 hours to firm. Slice and serve as desired with your favorite Keto meals.
