Blue Cheese Dip

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 4 * 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 * 1 cup sour cream
• 4 * 4 oz. tangy blue cheese, such as Point Reyes
• 2 * 2 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
• 1/2 * 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• * Potato chips for serving (see related recipe
• at right)
• * Crudités for serving (see related tip at right)

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, using a handheld electric mixer fitted with the beater attachments, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Reduce the speed to low, add the sour cream and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the blue cheese and beat until the cheese is crumbled and no large lumps remain, about 1 minute. Stir in the chives and pepper.

Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. Serve with potato chips and crudités. Makes about 2 cups.
