Gorgonzola is an aged, sharp blue-veined Italian cheese. Blue-veined cheeses go best with sweet wines such as Sauternes and port. We also suggest Moscato d'Asti.
INGREDIENTS
1 (8-ounce) package mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 ounces (1 cup) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
Garnish: chopped fresh chives
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine mascarpone cheese and sour cream in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Stir in next 3 ingredients. Gently stir in Gorgonzola cheese, leaving dip chunky. Garnish, if desired. Serve with sliced apples, pears, crackers, breadsticks, and toasted walnuts.
YIELD: Makes 2 cups
PREPARATION TIME: 10 min.
