Blue Cheese and Walnut Spread

This spread is also delicious served on apple or pear wedges. Rub them first with lemon juice to prevent discolouration.

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup walnuts, chopped
sea salt
black pepper, freshly cracked
4 oz (1 cup) blue cheese, crumbled, such as Stilton

To Serve:
crackers or crostini

In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese with a wooden spoon until softened. Mix in walnuts; season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in blue cheese, breaking up as little as possible.

Transfer mixture to a small bowl; smooth top. Serve with crackers or crostini.

To store: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, up to 1 week.

Makes 1⅓ cups.
