Fantastic!! We love blue cheese and this dish was amazing. The only change we made was we used half & half instead of heavy cream to lighten up the calorie load just a bit. AWESOME RECIPE - will definitely make again! (and again and again..) Read More

It was OK... This recipe ended up far too heavy and became cold and solidified before I knew what was happening. Flavor was alright but the sauce was too thick and didn't turn out well. Read More

This was an awesome easy recipe. 1 oz blue cheese = 3 Tbs. For this recipe I used 2/3 cups of blue cheese. We didn't have walnuts but chopped pecans went well. Thanks for the new dish! Read More
