I am looking for favorite recipes that revolve around Blue or Gorgonzola Cheese. I have just recently learned to LOVE this stuff and now can’t get enough of it into my mouth! Any suggestions?
I really can't think of anything that doesn't taste better with a little moldy cheese added. Mac and cheese. Salads. Steaks. Sandwiches. And so on.
However, there's a blue cheese, pine nut and red pepper tart an old roommate of mine used to make that is incredible. An approximate recipe can be found here.
Pasta! Tagliatelle pasta with a cream sauce that has: cream, garlic, small onion, chicken breast, gorgonzola, parmesan, and fresh asparagus. Sooo, good.
It's also great in a salad with spiced pecans, little mandarin oranges (from the can), mixed greens and a honey balsamic vinagrette
Butter a baking dish. Slice a peeled sweet potato (or two) in thin, even slices (the thinner, the better). Lay slices evenly over bottom of baking dish until you can't see the dish's bottome any more. Crumble blue cheese on top of sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Layer on more sweet potatoes, crumble more cheese, sprinkle more nutmeg. Repeat until you're near the top of your dish, ending with a generous helping of crumbled cheese. Pour in 1 cup of milk or stock (do not over-fill...it'll get soupy). Put in a hot oven for 45 minutes or until the cheese is brown and bubbly, and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Let stand for 15 minutes or so, if possible, so it will set up.
Eat. Eat. Eat.
Hate blue cheese? I weep for you. Substitute a nice, moist, crumbly goat cheese.
