How To Make Nettle & Blue Cheese Rarebit
Blue cheese gets a bad reputation for having a pungent smell. Despite this, it’s no secret that it’s one of the best cheeses to use for cooking. Eaten raw, it’s salty, sharp, and subtly sweet with a crumbly texture. It turns into a delicious creamy puddle once melted, though! That’s why it’s an excellent ingredient for making the most sophisticated dips and sauces. Explore these blue cheese recipes for more food ideas.
