How to Make Blue Cheese And Tomato Spread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Halve the tomatoes and arrange them cut-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 60-75 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and reduced in size by about half.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Once cool, puree the roasted tomatoes using a food processor or blender.
  5. In a medium bowl, gently mash the blue cheese with a fork until it's mostly smooth but still retains some texture.
  6. Stir in the pureed tomatoes until well combined. The mixture should be somewhat coarse.
  7. Add the vodka or rum and stir to incorporate.
  8. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Gently stir, leaving some oil unincorporated for a beautiful sheen.
  9. Transfer the spread to a serving bowl.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers.
