Category: Dips - Cold
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 tbsp olive oil
1 3/4 cup chopped shallots
3/4 cup good quality mayonnaise
3/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
4 oz. creamy blue cheese, at room temperature

In a skillet, saute shallots in olive oil over medium-low, covered, until golden and carmaelized. This should take about 20 minutes. Let shallots cool.

In a mixing bowl, blend mayonnaise and creme fraiche. Add softened blue cheese.

Mash mayo mixture and blue cheese together until smooth. Stir in cooled, carmaelized shallots. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until flavors mix, at least three hours, or up to two days. Best when made one day ahead. Makes about 2 cups.

Serve it with crackers, toast points, crudites, and kettle style potato chips.

Note: It's best to choose a blue cheese without too much blue veining. If the cheese looks too blue, the dip may develop a grey color. It'll still be delicious, though!
