Get ready for the most decadent and irresistible blue cheese dip of your life! I never thought I’d see the day that I would say the secret is in the blue cheese, but in fact, the key to this recipe is the Treasure Cave Blue Cheese!

The other secrets are the crispy prosciutto, roasted pears and the other 3 cheeses in the dip, but with everything combined and that unique flavor of blue cheese, this dip recipe is one that will have everyone asking for more!

This tasty blue cheese dip is the next recipe in my partnership with Treasure Cave. Have you tried the blue cheese gratin potato casserole yet? If that didn’t make a blue cheese lover out of you, then this dip surely will!

Treasure Cave is a brand that embraces bold and fun flavors and adventures, and that 100% describes everything I want out of life. So, I partnered with them to create a recipe inspired by my favorite adventure, a trip to Italy that reignited a love for combining flavors in beautiful yet approachable ways.

All haters of blue cheese, I welcome you to the table and challenge you to give this easy blue cheese dip recipe a try and let it make a blue cheese lover out of you! The combination of flavors and textures is so dreamy, I’m so confident you’ll love this creamy blue cheese dip, I’m willing to buy you a new car if you don’t love it! Ok, just kidding, but you absolutely have to give it a try!

Ingredients for Blue Cheese Dip

I took the blue cheese dip basics of sour cream, blue cheese and mayo and augmented them a little to elevate the flavor and make it even more gooey and cheesy. Here is everything you will need:

• Prosciutto: Adds crunchy texture and a salty, smoky flavor to the dip.
• Pear: Slice them thin and roast them until brown. They add sweetness and delicious flavor.
• Olive Oil: Helps roast the pears.
• Cream Cheese: I prefer the flavor and texture of full fat cream cheese and make sure it is softened so it isn’t clumpy in the dip.
• Sour Cream: Avoid the light or fat free stuff for the best texture and flavor.
• Mayonnaise: Use a good quality brand of mayo and choose whatever your favorite brand is.
• Spices: Ground Cardamom and Ground Nutmeg
• Salt and Black Pepper: for flavor
• Treasure Cave Blue Cheese: You can also use Treasure Cave Gorgonzola Cheese if you just can’t get past the blue-ness of the blue cheese.
• Fontina Cheese: Buy a block if you can find it and shred it yourself.
• Parmesan Cheese: I like to use a microplane to grate the parmesan myself.
• Herbs: Thyme and Chives are our favorites, and parsley is also a great option. Be sure to use fresh herbs!

Blue Cheese Potato Gratin Casserole [+Video]

Learn how to make a delicious and creamy Treasure Cave Blue Cheese potato gratin casserole with these easy step-by-step instructions. This classic French dish is simple to make but will impress your dinner guests with its rich decadent flavor!

I’ve teamed up with Treasure Cave for the next few months!

Treasure Cave got a new makeover! Blue cheese can totally be polarizing, amiright? But over here, we love it!! My dad and Father in law both are obsessed so I’ve learned that I’d better have new and fun recipes to serve just whenever either come into town. You’ll notice there’s new packaging and the flavor is just as wonderful and funky as ever!

Made with thinly sliced potatoes, cream, two kinds of cheese, onions, roasted garlic and fresh herbs. It’s a side dish you won’t be able to get enough of!

I actually used to hate blue cheese. Treasure Cave Cheese is literally the brand that sold me on it. Its flavor was totally different than other blue cheeses and gorgonzola I’d tried. So, when I got an email about partnering together, it was an immediate yes. Not because of all the blue cheese lovers out there, but because I am convinced that I can convert the haters.

Trying Treasure Cave Cheese will literally be a turning point for everyone out there that avoids blue or gorgonzola cheese. With this potato recipe, I’m aiming to take the peculiar flavor of blue cheese and incorporate it into a unique and outrageously flavorful dish. Over the next few months I’m going to give you three recipes that will change any blue cheese hater to a blue cheese lover. Stay tuned.

Utah Cuisine

If you asked anyone outside of Utah what typical Utah cuisine is, my guess is that they wouldn’t have a clue. Heck, if you asked people living in Utah, they might have no clue too, but there are a few dishes Utah is famous for…funeral potatoes, casseroles and Jell-O.

So I thought, let’s make a blue cheese spin on funeral potatoes and make it into a potato casserole! Everyone loves a side of potato casserole! It’s so comforting and indulgent! You won’t believe the extra depth of flavor adding Treasure Cave Blue Cheese gives to this recipe! I went ahead and didn’t include Jell-O…you’re welcome!

Ingredients for Blue Cheese Potato Gratin

I mentioned that I was once a blue cheese hater, but I’ve come to learn that in potatoes, in a dip, or anywhere it’s hidden, I can see that it adds a layer of flavor that wouldn’t be there without it. There’s an acid that adds such balance to recipes.

Cue the salt, fat, acid, heat section of our cookbook. Utilizing these few things (salt, fat, acid, and heat) transforms your cooking to levels you never knew you could cook at! Here is what you will need for this recipe:
