Bleu Cheese Compound Butter
Bleu Cheese Compound Butter
Compound Butters are an easy way to add so much flavor to any dish. Typically made with herbs, lemon zest or truffles. This compound Butter is a little bit extra with the addition of Vegan Bleu Cheese. It’s as easy as mixing together softened butter with herbs and cheese. That’s it! Add it to baked potatoes, grilled mushrooms, veggies or even on toast! I’ve included a quick recipe for a complete meal along with how to make the Bleu Cheese Compound Butter.
