Answer 1

have it with crackers and thin slices of pear. fantastic!

Answer 2

Well, to get the effect of the bleu cheese without covering it up much,
mix a Tablespoon of bleu cheese with 2 oz cream cheese, then try it on a cracker. If you are wanting to actually serve it to a group of people, multiply the recipe according to how much you want, and serve it with some fresh pears, assorted plain crackers, and some good wine.

I make a good salad that is easy: Make a layered salad of romaine lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, and a little crumbled bleu cheese. Pour some italian dressing or a vinaigrette over the top and sprinklie with sunflower seeds.

Sarah J and diego~girl are the closest, correct all cheese have a bacteria in most to add flavour and aid in the aging process, blue cheese as the one girl said is a cows milk cheese and when pressed they inject with long needles and penniclium type of bacteria and as it ages and drys the bacteria forms the blue veins, like those in Dansh blue, French Rouqerfort ( it is sheep milk), Gorgozola, Cammenzola, Maytag Blue all are inoculated the same way. And no there is no danger or risk eating them, I have had all kinds of cheese in my 20+ years as a chef, some blues some stinky and ones from Yaks, Mares and Camel milk.

Answer 4

Chopped Salad

Ice burg lettuce
blue cheese crumbled
tomatoes chopped
bacon cooked and crumbled
green onions chopped
Vinaigrette dressing

toss salad and ingredients together. add any type of vinaigrette that you like and enjoy. Blue cheese is a good cheese but most people have to like it to eat it. It has a distinct flavor.

Answer 5

You could make a salad with pears, spinach, blue cheese, walnuts, then cook some bacon (make sure its cuts into small pieces) then put this onto the rest of the ingredients and mix them round, voila! Yummy salad!

Answer 6

Blue cheese is incredibly good on hamburgers! My favorite burger for a treat is blue cheese, carmelized onion and bacon on Angus beef patty. My guy friend calls it 'the fat burger' and swears he can see my cholesterol rising while I'm eating it.

This one sounds a bit strange, but it's very good. Put a little bit of crumbled blue cheese in your guacamole. It's very tasty as well. Sometimes I go so far as to add avocado slices to the above mentioned fat burger.

I've also eaten it at room temperature, with fresh black pepper and apple slices. Just scrape at the cheese with the apple slices.

Rachel Ray also had a recipe for a Blue Cheese Tomato Tart in her magazine. I couldn't find my copy of the magazine, so I found it online for you. It is yummy!

One 9-inch Pillsbury Just unroll refrigerated piecrust
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the salad dressing
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese (about 1 cup)
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1 large egg
3 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced
One 7-ounce bag of salad greens
Grated lemon zest and juice, to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Unroll the piecrust and press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork, brush with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 10 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, blue cheese and egg until combined. Remove the tart shell from the oven and immediately prick with a fork in a few places. Spoon the cheese mixture into the tart shell and top with the tomato slices; season with pepper and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and let cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, toss the salad greens with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt to taste. Cut the tart into wedges and serve with the greens.

I'm not sure what sort of wine you would drink with a blue cheese, but I would imagine it would be some sort of red. Blue cheese is so strongly flavored it would most likely overwhelm most white wines. I think it's wonderful with fruit, so I'd go for a red wine with fruity tones to it.

you've been missing out on something yummy!
all the recipes given here sound great
before having any cheese leave it out of the fridge for at least half an hour before eating.

Answer 8

A lot of people like grapes with it. A suitable wine would be a dry white.

Answer 9

How about a bed of field greens, walnuts, sliced pears and raspberry vinaigrette?

Yum!
