Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 ounces Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until it is pliable but not melted.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese.

Step 3

Using a fork or a small spatula, gently mash and mix the butter and blue cheese together until they are well incorporated but still slightly chunky.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper to the butter mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Lay a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Transfer the butter mixture onto the center of the wrap.

Step 6

Shape the butter into a log by folding the wrap over the mixture and rolling it, ensuring an even cylindrical shape. Twist the ends of the wrap tightly to seal.

Step 7

Refrigerate the butter log for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

Step 8

Once chilled, slice the compound butter into discs as needed for serving.
