Blue Cheese Appetizers

Blue cheese is not an ingredient that appeals to everyone but if you do enjoy the sour tang of this ingredient there are some great and very easy and quick appetizers recipes you can make with it.

Mushroom Appetizers Recipe With Blue Cheese

What You Need:

• 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 8 oz finely chopped mushrooms
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• 3 oz softened Neufchatel or Philadelphia
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan
• 4 oz softened blue cheese
• Chopped pimento or slivered almonds, for garnish (optional)

How To Make Them:

Grease a nine by thirteen inch pan. Saute the onion, mushrooms, and Worcestershire sauce in two tablespoons of the butter in a skillet until the mushrooms are browned. Combine the Bisquick mix with the remaining butter and beat in the water until you have a dough. Press the dough into the prepared pan.
Combine the Neufchatel and blue cheese and spread this over the dough. Top with the mushroom mixture, and then sprinkle the parsley and parmesan on top. Cover and chill for four hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the appetizer for half an hour or until the crust is browned. Let it cool for ten minutes, and then cut into one and a half inch squares. Garnish with chopped pimento or slivered almonds and serve. These appetizers will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

How To Make Stilton Tartlets

Combine four ounces of crumbled Stilton with a tablespoon of all purpose flour and spoon this mixture into tart shells. Combine five ounces of evaporated milk with a beaten egg and a little hot sauce and salt and spoon this mixture into the tart shells too.

Sprinkle quarter of a cup of chopped walnuts on top and bake for seven minutes at 425 degrees F. Turn the oven down to 300 degrees F and bake for another fifteen minutes or until set.

A Super Easy Blue Cheese Ball Recipe

Combine eight ounces of cream cheese with four ounces of crumbled blue cheese, quarter of a cup of butter, a tablespoon of chopped green onion tops or chives and two thirds of a cup of chopped olives. Shape the mixture into a ball and roll it in three quarters of a cup of chopped nuts. Chill the ball overnight, or for at least a couple of hours, to allow the flavors to blend.

Blue Cheese And Potato Soup

Soup is always a great hot appetizer recipe if you are catering for a fall or winter party. To make a delicious appetizer soup recipe, cut the top off a garlic bulb and wrap it in aluminum foil. All a little olive oil and roast it for an hour at 375 degrees F. Squeeze the cooked, tender clove flesh into a soup pot with some butter and add a sliced onion.

Cook the onion and garlic until the onion is soft, and then add two pints of boiling water, a chicken bouillon cube and four chopped potatoes. Let the soup simmer until the potatoes are tender.
Blend the mixture until it is really smooth, adding more water if necessary. Add a pint of heavy cream and six ounces of blue cheese and reheat the soup without letting it boil. Season with salt and black pepper and serve with hot, crusty bread.
