Blue Cheese and Walnut Spread

From Martha Stewart
      
This spread is also delicious served on apple or pear wedges. Rub them first with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.

Yield Makes 1 1/3 cups

Ingredients
    4-ounce bar of cream cheese, room temperature
    1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
    Coarse salt and ground pepper
    4 ounces (1 cup) cold crumbled blue cheese, such as Stilton
    Crackers or crostini, for serving

Method
In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese with a wooden spoon until softened. Mix in walnuts; season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in blue cheese, breaking up as little as possible. Transfer mixture to a small bowl; smooth top. Serve with crackers or crostini. To store: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, up to 1 week.
