Stilton Date Dip Recipes

BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Crumble the blue cheese into a mixing bowl.
• Beat with a wooden spoon until softened.
• Add the cream cheese and stir until well incorporated.
• Stir in the Greek yogurt.
• Season to taste and serve with vegetable crudites and crackers. Enjoy!

STILTON-STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Make a lengthwise cut in each date and gently remove the pit, forming a pocket. Fill each date with 1/2 teaspoon cheese. Cut each piece of bacon in half by width. Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around each date, forming a slight overlap on the bottom (cut side up), and place on a rack within a sheet pan. Bake until bacon is crisp and cheese melts, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool slightly and serve.

BLUE CHEESE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
• Add the chopped shallot and fry for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for a further 1 minute.
• Add cream and Stilton, and heat over a low heat, stirring often until the Stilton melts and the sauce thickens slightly. This should take about 5 minutes. You can help the Stilton to melt down easier by crushing it with the back of your spoon when stirring.
• Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
• You can serve right away, it let it continue to cook over a low heat (stirring often) for a few more minutes if you would like the sauce to thicken up further.

STILTON DATE DIP

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer (blender or hand-held blender), combine both cheeses w/salt & pepper.
• When blended, add cream until dip reaches desired consistency.
• Fold in dates & bacon. Serve w/dippers and/or crackers of choice.
• NOTE: Altho the recipe did not suggest this, I feel a chill time to allow the flavor to develop would be ideal . & . I think this would be best if allowed to approach room temp b4 being served. My thoughts, but your choices. :-).
