 Ingredients List

  • Blue Cheese Spread with Onion-Pear Jam
  • ~~~~~~~~~~Blue Cheese Spread:~~~~~~~~~~~
  • 16 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 8 oz. shredded Asiago cheese
  • 8 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~Onion-Pear Jam:~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • 4 cups sweet onions, diced
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 2 cups pears, peeled, diced
  • 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

 Directions

For the cheese spread:

Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment cream cheeses together until smooth.

Add cream and mix until fully incorporated.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Put into a crock or into a mold (like I did) and place in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to get the flavors to really develop.

For the Onion-Pear Jam:

In a medium sized saucepan add the oil and onions and sauté for about 2 minutes.

Add pears, vinegar, sugar, cayenne and salt.

Bring to a boil stirring the whole time.

Then reduce to simmer.

Simmer until the liquids have gone and you have jam like consistency.

It took about 3 hours for mine to fully reduce. Just keep an eye on it and stir about every 20 minutes.

Place jam on top of cheese spread. It”™s also delish with chicken or pork as well.
