Best Stilton Blue Recipes

STILTON (BLUE CHEESE) STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Shave or crumble about 1- 1 1/2 CUPS of the Blue cheese into a small heavy sauce pan.
• Add about 1/4 cup Hellman's full fat mayonnaise. (This is the emumiant that keeps everything together).
• I add a LOT (a full teaspoon) of pepper, I grind it right into the pan. Fresh really makes a difference.
• Add salt to taste (I don't use any if I use the rind of the cheese as it is often hardened with salt).
• Warm the pan slowly while constantly stirring. It will melt, don't give up.
• If you heat it too fast, or don't still it will separate.
• The mayo will forgive some sins, but not many, so stir!
• This will make a THICK sauce.
• More mayo will thin it some.
• Milk can thin it if it is too strong.
