Easy Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes

BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour and let cook for 1 min or so. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and all the milk has been added. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season to taste and serve.

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!

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the breast halves with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown lightly on one side. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
• Meanwhile. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, and continue stirring rapidly. Add the cream and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
• Add the ham slices to the skillet in which the chicken pieces cooked and saute briefly on both sides just enough to heat through. Transfer the slices to a heated serving dish and cover each slice with a piece of chicken breast.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stiffing until wilted. Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Stir in the cheese sauce.
• Place a sieve over a small saucepan and strain the sauce, stirring and pushing down with a plastic spatula to press through as much of it as possible. There should be about 1 1/3 cups of sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.

EASY TRUFFLED BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine blue cheese, truffle oil, and garlic in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until cheese has melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful that cheese doesn't burn.
• Mix in mayonnaise and salt until fully blended.

BLUE CHEESE SAUCE, FOR STEAK

Steps:

• Melt the butter in the pan and add the chopped shallot. Cook the shallot for about 5 minutes on a low to medium heat, stirring regularly.
• Then add the white wine and wait until it has reduced (about 1-2 minutes). Then add the blue cheese to the pan and wait until it has all melted before adding the cream.
• Stir well and heat for about one minute, seasoning with black pepper to suit. You will not need to add any salt, as the cheese is already very salty. Finally, garnish with the chives.
• Serve up separately, or on top of the steak as required.

EASY BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually whisk in water until smooth. Add blueberries, lemon zest and juice; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes (some berries will remain whole). Serve warm or chilled over ice cream.

EASY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place crumbled blue cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in a food processor and mix for about a minute until well combined.
• Add in fresh lemon juice, salt and fresh ground black pepper. Mix again, then check the consistency and taste, and adjust if necessary.
• If you can - refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

EASY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE PASTA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles.
• Turn the heat down to low and add the butter to the pot.
• When the butter has melted, add the noodles back to the pot and stir to coat.
• Slowly add the blue cheese, stirring the noodles so the cheese melts.
• As you add the cheese, also drizzle a little of the reserved pasta water over the noodles, using as much or as little as needed. The water will keep the noodles from clumping together and thin out the blue cheese as it melts so the sauce has a lighter, less-sticky texture.
• Once the blue cheese has mostly melted, stir in the parsley. Add salt to taste.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

HOMEMADE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING (BETTER THAN STORE-BOUGHT)

Steps:

• Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir until well blended and creamy.
• Use the back of a spoon to press some of the blue cheese crumbles into the sauce for even more flavor. The dressing will be thick, which makes it perfect for dips.
• For a pourable dressing that's perfect for salads, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk, buttermilk or water. Taste then adjust with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for one week.
