The Lush Chef

Libations used: 1 Tbs dry vermouth
Libations left over: Make yourself a dirty martini

The dip fun continues!  Usually when I do a cheese spread, I resort to these wine cheese balls, but I didn't feel like cracking open a whole bottle of wine if I was going to be making everyone cocktails.  I had tons of green olives and some leftover cream cheese in the fridge, so I decided to make something dirty martini inspired.  I recommend serving this with toast points or toasted bread slices — something not too salty because blue cheese can already be on the salty side.  Everyone devoured this dip, so mark this one in the books as a Lush Chef favorite (and original) recipe.
