Blue Cheese Entree Recipes

As much as we love to enjoy artisanal cheeses on their own merits, with no other flavors to compete with their naturally robust flavor profiles, it can also be quite fun to cook with farmhouse, high quality cheeses. If you think your Sheppard’s Pie recipe can’t be topped using mass produced cheddars, wait until you try it with a handmade aged English farmhouse produced by a cheesemaker that has his own small herd of 45 cows, all of which have names.

Blend flour, two of the eggs, milk, water and melted butter in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Heat a lightly buttered 6-8 inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Pour or spoon 3-4 tablespoons of batter in pan and spread out to form a round crêpe. Brown lightly on each side. Watch closely to avoid overcooking. Set aside. Repeat with remaining batter.

Place 3-4 slices of pear and one teaspoon of crumbled blue cheese on each crêpe. Shape each crêpe into a triangle by folding it over twice. Set aside filled crêpes. Beat the remaining eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Carefully brush both sides of each triangle with the beaten egg. Coat with Parmesan cheese mixture. Melt remaining butter in a large skillet and fry carefully until golden brown on each side. Sprinkle with additional blue cheese if desired, and serve warm. Makes 12 crêpes.
