Ingredients

SPREAD:
1 1/4 c cottage cheese (low fat ok to use)
1 1/4 c blue cheese, crumbled (about 5 ounces)
1 large clove garlic
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 green onions, with tops, finely chopped
1/4 c finely chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp slivered toasted almonds
BREAD:
2 french bread baguettes, sliced into 16 pieces each
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

1. SPREAD: Combine cottage cheese, blue cheese, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Add green onions, basil, and almonds. Blend until mixed but still lumpy and not smooth. Pour dip into serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. BREAD: Spread melted butter on both sides of bread slices. Lay on a non-stick cooking sheet. Stir together garlic powder and salt. Sprinkle on one side of buttered bread. Turn on broiler and allow it to heat up a moment. Broil bread about 6-8 inches from heating element for 30-45 minutes per side. Serve warm with Blue Cheese Herb Spread on the side.

Tips:

Use high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. A sharp, flavorful blue cheese will give the spread a more complex and delicious taste.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
To make the spread ahead of time, simply mix all of the ingredients together and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It's also great as a dip for chicken wings or shrimp.
