HERB GORGONZOLA BUTTER — This savory butter features garden fresh herbs and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. It’s the perfect accompaniment to grilled steaks, hamburgers and vegetables.
One of my favorite things to do when I have an over-abundance of fresh herbs in my garden is make savory butters, like this Herb Gorgonzola Butter.
It’s such a versatile, easy way to use up those herbs, and it’s the perfect condiment to have on hand during summer grilling season.
This delicious butter spread is especially good with beef, thanks to the tang from the Gorgonzola cheese, but it’s equally good on grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, and seafood too.
We especially love this butter on grilled steak, but I also love slathering my hamburgers with it year round. All you have to do is keep some of this herbed butter in your freezer and you can enjoy it all year long!
Which means it’s also a simple way to preserve herbs from your garden to use throughout the year.
There’s nothing like a juicy hamburger, dripping with this tasty spread, in the middle of the winter, to remind you that summer and grilling season is on the horizon.
You can almost use any combination of herbs in this recipe. The only thing I might think twice about is mint. But hey! Even that could work. And you can definitely sub blue cheese for the Gorgonzola.
I like to pack this into little Mason jars and stick them in my freezer–feel free to double or triple the recipe if you’ve really got a lot of herbs to use.
Some people like to form their compound butters into logs, wrap them in wax paper, and freeze them that way. Which makes it easy to slice off a pat of your savory spread when it’s time for serving.
The possibilities for this Herb Gorgonzola Butter are practically endless. I’m sure you’ll find your own delicious and unique ways to use this buttery condiment at your house too!
