Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 4 oz (115g) blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) kosher salt

Instructions:

  1. Place the softened butter in a medium mixing bowl and cream it with a rubber spatula until smooth and pale.
  2. Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, ensuring small pockets of cheese remain. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice until evenly distributed.
  3. Add the cracked black pepper and kosher salt. Taste and adjust salt based on the saltiness of the blue cheese used.
  4. Spoon the mixture onto parchment paper and roll into a tight cylinder approximately 2 inches in diameter. Twist the ends of the paper to seal.
  5. Place the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 40 minutes to firm up before slicing into pats.
