Definitely 5 Star. Gotta like bleu cheese though. Much better at room temp than cold. Although, if you get the munchies late at night, this is terrific spread on the end piece of plain white homemade bread. Even cold. With a glass of sauvignon blanc. Mmmm. Many thanks for posting. UPDATE: 2/9/09. Soften 4 oz. of goat cheese and add all the other ingredients for a creamier spread with essentially the same flavors. The goat cheese does cut the strong bleu cheese taste though, without changing the basic flavor. Take it out of the fridge an hour before if you want it spreadable. That may or may not be what you're looking for! Very good!

Wow! If you like blue cheese, you'll like this. I made it for a family potluck and served it with water crackers as suggested. There wasn't much left and the lucky ones spread it over their steaks. It's an odd combination but it works!

Tasty! I took it to a Christmas gathering and everyone pronounced it wonderful — well, everyone except the blue cheese haters, but who cares what they think! The hostess pointed out that the dip really does need to be served on water crackers because the dip has such a strong taste that you don't want any other flavors competing with it. I agree, so in the future I'll remember to resist the temptation to substitute a different kind of cracker.

I brought this to a baby shower and it got many compliments. I got a bit carried away and added too much garlic (1 large clove and 1 small clove). Next time, I will just use a bit less garlic and just a tiny, tiny bit less of olive oil. If you love bleu cheese, you'll love this dip. I served them with Pita Chips Pita Chips. Thanks for posting!
