Beurre De Roquefort Roquefort Butter Recipes

ROQUEFORT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the butter and Roquefort cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the scallions and mix until combined. Cut a strip of parchment paper 4 1/2 inches wide and place the mixture on the short end of the paper. Roll into a log about 1 inch in diameter, rolling the parchment paper around the butter mixture. Chill.

BEURRE DE ROQUEFORT (ROQUEFORT BUTTER)

Steps:

• Simmer the shallots in the wine in a small saucepan until the wine is reduced to almost nothing.
• Cool to room temperature and combine with the remaining ingredients (be careful with salt--the cheese is powerful).
• Use a food processor, an immersion blender (my method) or your muscles, and combine this well--but don't over-mix or it will become a greasy mess.
• Turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap; roll into a log and chill.
• When chilled enough to be slightly firm, shape into a nice cylinder, or what ever shapes you prefer or pack into a decorative mold if you are using as a spread.
• At this point, either chill or freeze.
• Note: If you wish to use this to decorate you can, while it is still soft, place in a pastry bag and pipe the cheese butter into whatever shapes or onto whatever dish you wish to garnish.
