Ingredients
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- Pinch salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled blue cheese. Use a fork or a hand mixer to mash and blend them together until mostly smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- 2
Add the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, chopped fresh chives, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture has a creamy, uniform consistency.
- 3
Taste the dip and add a pinch of salt if desired, keeping in mind the saltiness of the blue cheese. Continue to stir until the salt is fully dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- 4
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- 5
Serve the chilled gluten-free blue cheese dip with your favorite gluten-free crackers, vegetable sticks like carrots and celery, or apple slices. The dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips & Notes
- Full-fat yogurt produces a richer result; reduced-fat works fine in most recipes.
- Don't over-mix once cream cheese is incorporated or the texture can turn gummy.
- Roasted garlic (400°F, 30–40 min in foil) gives a sweet, mellow flavor ideal for soups and sauces.
