BAYLEY HAZEN BLUE CHEESE DIP

  • 1/2 lb. Bayley Hazen Blue, at room temperature, rind removed
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 TBSP cup sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche
  • 1.5 TBSP chives or tarragon, chopped
  • 1-3 TBSP buttermilk, for thinning
  • salt and pepper to taste
Slice the cheese and crumble into roughly pea-sized pieces. Add cheese, shallot, and vinegar to a large bowl and mix to combine. Let rest for 15 minutes, then mash again if you prefer a creamier dip (we like some chunks of blue to remain).

Fold in the crème fraîche and add buttermilk by the tablespoon until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs. 

This dip is best when made a day in advance, or given at least a half-hour to chill before serving, but in all honesty it's pretty delightful right away. The recipe is also forgiving of substitutions, provided proportions are maintained: red onion, cider vinegar and sour cream will still make a superior dip! 

Leftover dip? This never happens to us, but you can add a twist of lemon juice and further thin with buttermilk for an awesome salad dressing.

What’s the best Pa. BBQ potato chip? We ranked top brands, from Hartley’s to Middleswarth
Stacks Image 32
By Sue Gleiter | sgleiter@pennlive.com
You wouldn’t think there would be so much variety with barbecue potato chips.
After crunching our way through several top Pennsylvania chip brands, we were surprised to discover plenty of diversity. Turns out, no two manufacturers define barbecue the same.
For some it’s a sweet mesquite, while others prefer a more traditional flavoring. Some are zesty, tangy or smokey.
We decided to tackle barbecue chips
after sampling some of Pennsylvania’s finest plain potato chips this summer. After all, the state is the epicenter of potato chip manufacturers, from mom and pops to mega manufacturers.
