Stilton Dip Recipes

STILTON DIP

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese into a bowl, crumble the Stilton cheese on top and blend together.
• Add the sour cream and lemon juice; blend.
• Fold in the green onion and spinach.
• Cover and refridgerate for 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.
• This can also be served hot by placing finished dip in an oven safe dish, covering with foil and baking in a preheated 350 F oven for 15-20 minutes.

STEAKS AND STILTON SAUCE

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before grilling the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Heat a grill with coals.
• When the coals are hot, spread them out in the grill in one solid layer. Pat the steaks dry on both sides with paper towels and brush each side lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them on each side for 2 minutes, until browned. Place the lid on the grill and allow the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are cooked rare, or 120 degrees on a meat thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.) Remove the steaks from the grill, place them in one layer on a platter, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the Stilton Sauce.
• Place the Stilton in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

CELERY STICKS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, mix the soured cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning. Pour into a serving bowl and use as a dip for the celery sticks.

POTTED STILTON

Steps:

• Put the stilton, 100g of the butter and sherry in a bowl. Season with a few grinds of black pepper, then mash together well with a fork until smooth. Spoon the mixture into a large, sterilised ramekin or ceramic pot.
• Melt the remaining butter in a small pan. Spoon over the cheese mixture, making sure it's completely sealed. Top with a few green peppercorns and chill for a minimum of 2 hrs, or for up to 2 months.

STILTON DATE DIP

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer (blender or hand-held blender), combine both cheeses w/salt & pepper.
• When blended, add cream until dip reaches desired consistency.
• Fold in dates & bacon. Serve w/dippers and/or crackers of choice.
• NOTE: Altho the recipe did not suggest this, I feel a chill time to allow the flavor to develop would be ideal . & . I think this would be best if allowed to approach room temp b4 being served. My thoughts, but your choices. :-).
