Blue Cheese Butter

Remove the margarine from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature until it is pliable and easily workable. This ensures smooth and even incorporation of all ingredients.

Crumble the blue cheese into small, even pieces using a fork or your fingers, breaking up any large chunks. Set aside until ready to use.

Place the softened margarine in a medium mixing bowl and beat it with a fork or hand mixer until it is smooth and creamy. Avoid over-whipping, as you want a thick, spreadable consistency.

Add the crumbled blue cheese to the bowl with the margarine and mix until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout. Some texture from the cheese crumbles is desirable.

Sprinkle in the garlic salt and add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a cohesive, well-seasoned compound butter.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more garlic salt or Worcestershire sauce to suit your preference. Be mindful that blue cheese is already salty.

Transfer the compound butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper and shape it into a log by rolling and twisting the ends securely. This shape makes slicing easy for serving.

Refrigerate the wrapped butter log for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up. Slice into rounds and serve atop warm bread, steaks, or as desired.
