Ingredients
  

  • ¼ Cup 57g (2.01 oz) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 8 Ounces 226g (8 oz) Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened
  • ½ Cup 57g (2.01 oz) Blue Cheese, crumbled
  • 2 Spring Onions, finely chopped
  • 1/3 Cup 20g (0.71 oz) Fresh Chives, chopped and divided
  • 1 Tablespoon 4g (0.14 oz) Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • For the creamiest texture, ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before blending. This prevents lumps and ensures a smooth, uniform spread.
  • This spread can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and simply roll it in fresh chives just before serving for the best presentation and flavor.
  • Feel free to customize by adding a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch, or a dash of Worcestershire sauce for extra umami depth.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  3. Add the crumbled blue cheese, chopped spring onions, parsley, and half of the chopped chives. Pulse a few more times until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain some texture.
  4. Transfer the cheese mixture to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up.
  5. Before serving, shape the mixture into a ball or log and roll it in the remaining chopped chives to coat the exterior.
  6. Serve immediately.
