GORGONZOLA BUTTER
Serve a slice of this savory compound
butter on top of your favourite steak – it
will melt and impart an incredible flavour.
Makes 1 roll compound butter, 16 slices.
1
⁄2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, softened
1
⁄4 cup (50 ml) Gorgonzola, crumbled
pinch freshly ground pepper
Place butter in mixing bowl, mix on Speed
1 until smooth and slightly fluffy, about
30 seconds. Add Gorgonzola and mix
until well blended, about 30 to 40 seconds
longer.
Using a sheet of plastic wrap or waxed
paper as an aid, shape butter into a log,
about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Wrap
butter in plastic wrap twisting the ends to
form a log. Chill until firm enough to slice.
Place slices of Gorgonzola butter on top
of grilled or broiled steak, a fluffed baked
potato, or steamed vegetables.
Note: Butter can be wrapped in a whole
log or wrapped in smaller sizes and kept in
freezer. Double wrap using an outer wrap
of aluminum foil to prevent absorption of
freezer odors.
