Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Put the softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it’s fluffy. Add the blue cheese, chopped chives, red pepper flakes and ground pepper. Mix until totally combined, scraping the sides as needed.
- Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap on top of a piece of aluminum foil and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap and foil over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it’s all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic and foil to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, at least 1 hour, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.

Amazing….. Big hit with family and friends!!!!!
I made this and put it on fresh-baked bread (just like Ree), but I think the steak and baked potato suggestions would be even better. As much as I like spice, I would omit the red pepper flakes next time and decrease the chives as they overwhelmed the delicious Roquefort!
I put it on top of baked potatoes!! It was yummy!!
This was outstanding. I made it and served it on top of grilled fillets. (I think it would be great on hamburgers too.) I thought it really complemented the steaks. I portioned it, wrapped the individual pieces in waxed paper, then froze them. Then I pulled out as many pieces as needed and they thawed out nicely. Good job Ree.
This is fantastic. Enjoyed it on a baked potato also.
