Blue Cheese Dip

When enjoying Buffalo Chicken Wings at the 2019 Wing Fest I enjoyed a massive range of Blue Cheese dips. Some were standard “out-of-the-bottle” sauces, while others were amazing dip pots of blue cheese heaven. I spent weeks trying to perfect the balance of blue cheese, mayo and sour cream for the perfect wing dip and I am pretty proud of this recipe.

It makes a perfect accompaniment to a crudites platter, Buffalo chicken wings or just to eat with a spoon. My take on the classic dip uses Brighton Blue cheese which gives a milder and creamy taste. For a more classic ‘American’ version, I would recommend using Roquefort or Danish Blue instead.

A creamy blue cheese dip made from mayonnaise and sour cream that’s simple and easy to make and packs so much flavour.

Ingredients

• 300 ml sour cream or crème fraîche

• 7 tbsp mayonnaise

• 100g crumbled blue cheese

• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tbsp chopped chives

Directions

• In a mixing bowl add the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce and mixed thoroughly until well combined and emulsified.
• Stir in your crumbled blue cheese and mix through with a spatula. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as required.
• Empty out into a serving bowl or smaller ramekins and scatter with the chopped chives.

Notes

• A creamier/milder blue cheese will give a little blue cheese hint and works well with sour cream however a stronger blue cheese such as Danish Blue will give much more of a kick and works best with crème fraîche to offset the stronger flavours.
