Barbara Williams' Warm Blue Cheese Dip
A rich and tangy warm cheese dip, featuring the bold flavor of blue cheese balanced with creamy cream cheese. Perfect for sharing as an appetizer, this dip comes together easily on the stovetop and can be kept warm for extended enjoyment.
Ingredients
- •8 oz Blue cheese (crumbled)
- •1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- •1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- •16 oz Cream cheese (softened, cut into cubes)
- •1/8 tsp Salt
- •1/4 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
- 1.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the softened cream cheese cubes, crumbled blue cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and garlic powder.
Time: 5 min - 2.
Place the saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or rubber spatula, until all the cheeses are melted and the dip is smooth and uniformly warm. This should take about 20-30 minutes. Be careful not to let the dip boil.
Time: 25 min - 3.
Once the dip is smooth and hot, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If serving immediately, transfer to a serving bowl. For extended serving, transfer the warm dip to a fondue pot or a small slow cooker set to 'warm' to maintain its creamy consistency.
Time: 5 min
Tips
- 💡Serve this warm blue cheese dip with an assortment of dippers like pretzel bites, sturdy crackers, pita bread, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or apple slices.
- 💡For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce if you like a little kick.
- 💡Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before starting; this helps it melt smoothly and prevents lumps.
