Gorgonzola Butter
Create a rich and herby compound butter featuring Gorgonzola cheese. This quick recipe combines softened butter with crumbled cheese, fresh thyme, rosemary, and parsley, plus seasonings like kosher salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. After mixing, the butter is shaped into a log and chilled until firm. It's an excellent way to add a burst of flavour to grilled meats or crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Method
- Place the butter and Gorgonzola cheese into a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash and combine them thoroughly until no separate streaks remain.
- Transfer the butter mixture onto a large sheet of parchment paper, shaping it into a log. Fold the parchment over and roll it tightly to compact the shape, then twist the ends closed. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, which will take about 2 hours. You can store it in the fridge for 1 week or freeze it for 2 to 3 months.
