Categories     Herb     Appetizer     No-Cook     Blue Cheese     Walnut     Fall     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup walnuts
3 tablespoons sugar
16 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 1/2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)
2 1/2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Red leaf lettuce

Steps:

  • Mix salt, cumin, cardamom and pepper in medium bowl. Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and sauté until light brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over nuts and sauté until sugar melts and turns pale amber, about 4 minutes. Transfer nut mixture to bowl with spices; toss to coat well. Let cool. Coarsely chop nuts.
  • Lightly oil 8 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line pan with plastic wrap so that plastic extends over edges. Combine 12 ounces blue cheese, goat cheese, cream cheese and butter in processor and blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Stir in green onions and brandy. Mix parsley and chives in small bowl.
  • Spoon 1/3 of cheese mixture into bottom of lined pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle 1/3 of remaining crumbled blue cheese evenly over cheese mixture. Sprinkle 1/3 of nuts over blue cheese. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of herb mixture. Repeat layering. Spread remaining cheese mixture evenly over top. Fold plastic over cheese to cover. Refrigerate overnight. Cover remaining blue cheese and herbs separately and refrigerate. Store remaining nuts at room temperature.
  • Line platter with lettuce leaves. Unfold plastic from cheese. Carefully invert mold onto platter; remove pan and plastic. Sprinkle terrine with remaining blue cheese, nuts and herbs.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. A sharp, crumbly blue cheese, such as Roquefort, Maytag Blue, or Point Reyes Blue, will give the bites a bold and tangy flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts before using them. This will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • For a sweeter bite, use dried cranberries or cherries instead of raisins.
  • If you don't have any port wine on hand, you can substitute red wine or even cranberry juice.
  • Be sure to chill the bites for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to firm up and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese walnut bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover blue cheese. With their creamy, tangy, and nutty flavor, these bites are sure to be a hit with your guests.
