I've always been a big fan of peanut butter. Then I found chocolaty Nutella hazelnut spread and I was hooked! I even changed one of my all-time favorite pie recipes by substituting that ingredient. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 pound Stilton, crumbled (about 2 cups) and softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons Tawny Port or medium-dry Sherry, or to taste
1/3 cup chopped toasted and skinned hazelnuts plus additional for garnish if desired
Melba toast as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a food processor blend the Stilton, the cream cheese, the Port, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth, add the 1/3 cup hazelnuts, and pulse the motor a few times, until the nuts are incorporated. Transfer the spread to a crock or ramekin and chill it, covered, until it is firm. (The spread may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled). Garnish the spread with the additional nuts and serve it with the Melba toast.
  • To toast and skin hazelnuts:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a baking pan toast hazelnuts in one layer in oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until colored lightly, and skins blister. Wrap nuts in a kitchen towel and let steam 1 minute. Rub nuts in towel to remove as much of skins as possible and cool.
