ALL RECIPES

Point Reyes Blue and Cheddar Swirl Cheesecake

  • Pair with Cuvée Blanc
Primary Ingredients

1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature

2 eggs

Pinch salt

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup flour

2 tablespoons Point Reyes blue cheese

1 tablespoon cream or milk

Black pepper to taste

Pinch herbes de Provence

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon flour

½ cup milk

½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

“Girl and the Fig” apricot and fig chutney

Primary Technique
  1. In a small mixing bowl cream the blue cheese with the milk or cream until smooth.
  2. Place the cream cheese in a mixer. Beat until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add the salt, flour, creamed blue cheese, pepper, and herbes de Provence.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat the butter over a medium flame. Add the flour and cook a minute or two to remove the raw flour taste.
  6. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. The mixture will be very thick. Add the cheddar cheese and mix until the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from heat. Place the cheddar mix in a pastry bag with a small tip. Pour the mixture into the prepared cheesecake pan.
  8. Pipe the cheddar mix in a pinwheel pattern over the cheesecake mix. Bake the cheesecake in a preheated 350º oven for 45 minutes or until the cheesecake has set in the middle.
  9. Refrigerate. Slice and serve with the apricot fig chutney.
