How to Make Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese Compound Butter

  1. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter into half-inch cubes and let them sit at room temperature until softened enough to easily mix with a rubber spatula (or microwave for 30-40 seconds in short bursts).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  4. Gently fold in 4 ounces of crumbled Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese. Mix until just combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
  6. Place two 9-inch lengths of aluminum foil on your work surface.
  7. Using a rubber spatula, shape the butter mixture into two 9-inch logs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, along the bottom edge of each piece of foil.
  8. Roll each log tightly in its foil, twisting the ends to create a sealed tube.
  9. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, defrost in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Let the butter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve atop hot steaks, chops, or burgers.
