Preparation

Step 1

1. In a skillet, saute shallots in olive oil over medium-low, covered, until golden and carmaelized. This should take about 20 minutes.

2. Let shallots cool.

3. In a mixing bowl, blend mayonnaise and creme fraiche. Add softened blue cheese.

4. Mash mayo mixture and blue cheese together until smooth.

5. Stir in cooled, carmaelized shallots. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6. Cover and refrigerate until flavors mix, at least three hours, or up to two days. Best when made one day ahead.

Note: It's best to choose a blue cheese without too much blue veining. If the cheese looks too blue, the dip may develop a grey color. It'll still be delicious, though!
