Whipped Gorgonzola Recipes

WHIPPED GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Pulse Gorgonzola, cream cheese, and cream in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Serve with crudités and toast points alongside.
• Dip can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill; let sit at room temperature 20 minutes before serving.

GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the heavy cream to a full boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then continue to boil rapidly for 45 to 50 minutes, until thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
• Off the heat, add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt and serve warm. If you must reheat, warm the sauce over low heat until melted, then whisk vigorously until the sauce comes together.

GORGONZOLA DIP

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, using a whisk, stir the cream cheese until smooth.
• Add the remaining ingredients, in order, stirring well before you add the gorgonzola and gently after (this keeps it nice and chunky).
• Refrigerate for 30 minute before you adjust the seasonings to your liking. Serve with crackers or crudites.

GORGONZOLA BUTTER

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine Gorgonzola cheese and butter. Process until smooth.

GORGONZOLA, PEAR, AND WALNUT APPETIZER

Steps:

• Slice a pear along the side and place a piece on the cracker. Put a piece of the gorgonzola cheese on top of the pear slice.
• Breakup the walnuts into smaller pieces and place them on top of the cheese. The cheese should hold them to the canape.
• Drizzle some honey to sweeten. Tip: You can also add a slice of date instead of honey.

GORGONZOLA STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the thick side of each chicken breast about 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Mash together the Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, shallot, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Divide the filling in half, and stuff each chicken breast with cheese filling. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each breast, and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is browned and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read about 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

BRUSCHETTA WITH GORGONZOLA AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Brush both sides of the bread with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and lay on a baking sheet. Broil until lightly browned, about 1 minute a side. While the bread is still hot, gently rub both sides with the garlic. Spread the cheese evenly over each slice.
• Peel the peaches and split each in half vertically, gently twisting the halves in opposite directions to separate them from the pit. Lay each half cut side down and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Divide each half in half again and fan the slices over the cheese. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and rebroil until peaches are soft and hot, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
