Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g blue cheese crumbled
  • 100 g soured cream
  • 100 g mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 small garlic clove crushed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • A splash of milk to loosen if needed

Method
 

  1. Mash half the blue cheese with a fork.
  2. Whisk in soured cream, mayonnaise, vinegar and garlic until smooth.
  3. Fold in the remaining crumbled cheese for texture.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, tasting first.
  5. Loosen with a splash of milk if needed.
  6. Chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Mash some of the cheese and leave some chunky for the best texture.
Taste before adding salt, as blue cheese is already quite salty.
Chilling for at least 20 minutes lets the flavours properly settle.
Often tastes even better the next day.
Not suitable for freezing, as the base can split on thawing.
