Notes Pro Tips 1. Use softened butter—it makes mixing easier. 2. Salted butter is preferred. If using unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt per stick. 3. Any blue cheese will work. Crumbles are easiest; ½ cup is about 2 ounces. 4. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze pats flat in a sealed bag for 2–3 months. 5. Great on steak, vegetables, burgers, potatoes, or stirred into rice or noodles.
