Steps:
- Put the softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the blue cheese, chopped chives, red pepper flakes and ground pepper. Mix until totally combined, scraping the sides as needed.
- Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap on top of a piece of aluminum foil and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap and foil over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic and foil to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, at least 1 hour, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the butter will taste. Use unsalted butter, fresh herbs, and high-quality blue cheese.
- Let the butter soften before mixing: This will make it easier to mix the ingredients together and will help the butter spread more easily.
- 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.
- Be careful not to overmix the butter: Overmixing can make the butter tough.
- Chill the butter before serving: This will help the butter hold its shape and make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Chive and blue cheese butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for spreading on sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or crackers. No matter how you use it, chive and blue cheese butter is sure to please your taste buds.
