6 ounces Roth Buttermilk Blue® Cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
1/2 cup diced fresh pear
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
Salt and pepper to taste
Grilled beef steaks of choice

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Blue can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Beat the butter, blue cheese, pear and sage in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Shape blue cheese mixture into an 8-inch-long, round roll; tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve butter with steaks.

Recipe Tip

Stir this cheesy butter into fluffed rice or cooked tortellini; stuff it into baked sweet potatoes with crisp bacon pieces; or toss it with cubes of roasted butternut squash. Yum!

Cheesemonger Tip

Tangy, yet mellow. Award-winning Roth Buttermilk Blue® Cheese is cellar-aged for the creamiest taste and texture. The cheese stands up to the savory flavor of a perfectly grilled steak, and it is delicious blended with sweet, fresh pear.
