Ingredients
  

For the Spread
  • 5 oz Blue Cheese (Cabrales) Any strong, creamy blue cheese can be a substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Sherry Use Pedro Ximénez for greater sweetness or any type of sherry.
For Serving
  • 1 loaf Baguette Consider using toasted bread for a warm, crunchy contrast.
  • 1 cup Crackers

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • fork
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, crumble the blue cheese with a fork until it is broken down into small pieces. Aim for a rough texture initially, but continue mashing until it reaches a paste-like consistency—smooth and creamy.
  2. Slowly drizzle sherry into the mashed blue cheese while mixing consistently. Continue blending until the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the spread sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Transfer the creamy Blue Cheese and Sherry Spread to a small serving dish. Pair it with toasted baguette slices or an assortment of crunchy crackers.
