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.
Blue Cheese Dip
Course: CondimentsDifficulty: Easy10
servings30
minutesA 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.
