Cooking Notes
I liked this but for my taste there needs to be much more blue cheese. I doubled the amount and would have added even more if I had it available. Served it softened over sliced grass-fed steak prepared sous vide at 133 degrees and then seared in a little butter with herbs -- it was a nice addition.
Oh, this is good -- and, of course, works on filets cooked on a grill, too. Doubled the blue cheese. Glad I did.
This is delicious! I added more blue cheese and because I had it Black Label Cambozola. It was delicious on sous-vide and grilled NY steaks. Some guests used it for the butter on their warm baguette. Later, when our arteries recovered, we still thought it was worth it.

i wonder how this would be drizzled with runny honey...?
Maytag? That has always been my American blue cheese of choice, but I am open to suggestions.
Pointe Reyes. Great and a bit salty because of the grass near the ocean. I get it at Kroger, but Whole Foods has it, too.
