An easy to make great tasting combination of blue cheese and green olives. Once you start eating this you won't stop! I like to spread it on thin wheat crackers.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese
8 oz crumbled blue cheese
4 Tbsp butter
1 can(s) black olives (4.5 oz)
1 Tbsp minced chives (optional(
1/2 c nuts (pecan or sunflower seeds are best)

Steps:

1. Get cheeses and butter to room temperature and then beat together. Add olives and chives. On parchment paper, roll into a ball. Then pat nuts into the ball. If you can find the shelled sunflower seeds, they are GREAT with this. But if you can't, pecan pieces work well also.
2. Cover and chill in refrigerator until firm. Serve with plain wagers, bagel chips, or toast points.
