BACON AND BLUE CHEESE BUTTER
Why use plain butter when it’s so easy to make your own compound butter? My latest combination is real bacon and blue cheese, perfect for topping a fresh-off-the grill steak. The butter keeps in the refrigerator for about a week. If you’re not a fan of bacon and blue cheese, just pick your favorite spices and/or herbs to mix with the butter. I also like garlic-parsley-smoked paprika (use a garlic press to smush 1-2 cloves garlic plus 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh parsley plus 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika plus 1 good pinch of salt).
