BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED OLIVES MARTINI

Steps:

• Stuff the olives with the blue cheese.
• Add the vermouth to a martini glass and swirl to coat the glass. Freeze the glass until chilled, about 10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, add the vodka to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. Strain the vodka into the prepared martini glass and garnish with the olives.

BLUE-CHEESE-STUFFED OLIVES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cheese until fluffy, adding a little heavy cream if cheese is stiff.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED OLIVES

Steps:

• 1. In a mixing bowl, combine blue cheese and cream cheese together using the back of a spoon. When nicely blended, add heavy cream and stir until well incorporated.
• 2. Using a cocktail pick, remove pimento peppers and set them aside for other recipes (*see footnote).
• 3. Fill up a piping bag or a thick re-sealable plastic bag with cheese mixture. Cut off a very small corner and gently squeeze until the olives are stuffed.

BLUE-CHEESE-STUFFED FILLETS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse butter until whipped, and add salt and cheese. Pulse again just until incorporated. Dollop the compound butter towards 1 side of a piece of natural parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, twisting opposite ways on both ends to create a tightly wrapped log of butter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. (Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.) This could be made into 2 logs, as you will only need half this recipe for the steaks.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Once butter log is set, slice 1/2 the whole log into 1/4-inch disks. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet, and stuff with a butter disk. Tie each fillet with kitchen twine to keep it shape and sprinkle pepper each side.
• Add the olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each fillet until brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move skillet into the preheated oven to cook to desired doneness. Put another disk of the compound butter on top of each fillet just about 3 minutes before removing from oven, to just begin to melt but not melted completely. Remove from the oven and place on serving plates. Eat and enjoy!
