BLUE CHEESE AND ROASTED GARLIC DIP/SPREAD
This is the most amazing dip that is also wonderful spread on grilled steaks and burgers and also wonderful served on the side with raw veggies --- fresh garlic may be used, but be cautious only to use a small amount 1 teaspoon minced or less of fresh will do fine as it will overpower the other ingredients, I use about 1 tablespoon roasted for this, start by adding in a small amount at a time, and increase the amount of roasted garlic (fresh or roasted) as this dip gets stronger when left left to chill for the full 24 hours, so you might want to start with a small amount of garlic and add in more the following day if desired --- this is a dip I created years ago and still serve it today at get togethers it is the first to completey go so I always make a double batch --- gorgonzola cheese can be replaced with blue cheese for a milder flavor --- plan ahead this dip needs to chill 8-24 hours before using, you may adjust all ingredients to taste, if you prefer a more creamy dip increase the sour cream slightly, but start with the stated amounts, you will love this dip! :)

- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme add a pop of color and flavor to the spread.
- Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a touch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
- Chill Before Serving: Chilling the spread for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to spread.
