STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
Yum, yum! Sometimes I add some finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate. These are perfect for baby showers or wedding showers. A plastic sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by filling with the cream cheese mix and making a tiny cut in the corner.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse butter until whipped, and add salt and cheese. Pulse again just until incorporated. Dollop the compound butter towards 1 side of a piece of natural parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, twisting opposite ways on both ends to create a tightly wrapped log of butter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. (Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.) This could be made into 2 logs, as you will only need half this recipe for the steaks.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Once butter log is set, slice 1/2 the whole log into 1/4-inch disks. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet, and stuff with a butter disk. Tie each fillet with kitchen twine to keep it shape and sprinkle pepper each side.
- Add the olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each fillet until brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move skillet into the preheated oven to cook to desired doneness. Put another disk of the compound butter on top of each fillet just about 3 minutes before removing from oven, to just begin to melt but not melted completely. Remove from the oven and place on serving plates. Eat and enjoy!
BLUE CHEESE STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:
- Slice the top third (stem side) off each tomato. Cut a small slice off each bottom so that the tomatoes are flat and able to stand up. Using a melon baller or small spoon, remove the inside of each tomato to hollow out the center. Place the tomatoes on a plate or platter. Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Mash the cream cheese in a bowl with a rubber spatula until it is soft and malleable. Gently fold in the blue cheese, being careful not to overmix and break the blue clumps. Season with pepper. Use two small spoons to fill the tomatoes with the blue cheese mixture. (How much will depend on the size of the tomato; small tomatoes should get about 1 teaspoon of the mixture. You can also transfer the mixture to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag with the corner cut off and pipe the cheese mixture into each tomato.)
- Toss the chives and bacon together in a small bowl. Top each tomato with the mixture. Drizzle hot honey over the entire plate. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm strawberries: Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots, as they will not hold up well when stuffed.
- Remove the hulls from the strawberries carefully: Use a sharp knife or a strawberry huller to remove the hulls, taking care not to cut into the flesh of the berries.
- Chill the strawberries before stuffing: This will help them to hold their shape and make them easier to work with.
- Use a variety of fillings: Blue cheese is a classic choice, but you can also try other fillings such as goat cheese, cream cheese, or mascarpone cheese. You can also add herbs, nuts, or fruits to the filling for extra flavor.
- Pipe the filling into the strawberries: Use a pastry bag fitted with a small tip to pipe the filling into the strawberries. This will help you to create a neat and even filling.
- Chill the stuffed strawberries before serving: This will help them to set and make them easier to eat.
Conclusion:
Blue cheese stuffed strawberries are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of different stuffed strawberry recipes that will impress your guests.
