A delicious way to use up leftover Stilton, this blue cheese dip is perfect with a few crudités as a snack or addition to a party food buffet. A creamy and indulgent dip that can also be turned into blue cheese dressing for salad.

Better than any blue cheese dip that you can buy in a store. A creamy mixture of mayo, yogurt and sour cream with plenty of Stilton crumbled in. SO easy to make in a matter of minutes. Perfect for when you have unexpected visitors.

Why You Will Love It

  • Uses leftover cheese - This isn't usually a problem in our house, but if you do find yourself with a lot of leftover blue cheese, then this is a great way to use it.
  • Quick and easy - This is as easy as mixing everything together in a bowl and serving. So simple.
  • Stores well - You can make this in advance and it will keep for up to a week.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All the ingredients needed for this recipe with text overlay labels.

A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Sour cream, Mayonnaise and Greek yogurt - This is where all the creaminess comes from. For the best flavour, use full fat. We added half fat yogurt to ours to make it a big lighter, but you could just use mayo and sour cream.
  • Blue cheese - We used Stilton to give this a strong flavour, but you could swap it for Gorgonzola which has a milder flavour.
  • Lemon juice and Vinegar - This adds a little acidity and loosens up the dip, which we find is needed. You could swap it for buttermilk if that is what you have.
  • Salt and pepper - Generously season.

More ingredient substitutions and variations can be found in the recipe card.

What To Serve With Blue Cheese Dip

We love this as a dip with crudités. This is a really indulgent dip, so it balances it out to serve it with some veggies. We went with celery, cucumber and mangetout. But you could also add carrot sticks and bell peppers. We also love dipping homemade chips or some Melba Toast into it.

If you want to serve it in a more indulgent way, then it makes a pretty incredible pizza dip. Why not try our BBQ Chicken Pizza dipped into this? Blue cheese dip and chicken wings are the perfect match, right? Try making our Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Wings to go with this Stilton dip. You could also dip some Chicken Goujons in it, there are SO many options.

Extra Tips

  • For the best flavour, mix everything together a few hours before you are wanting to serve it and keep it covered in the fridge. This really allows all the flavours to come together.
  • This is a chunky dip, however if you want a smoother dip, then you can blend it until smooth.
  • Add some fresh parsley to lighten up this blue cheese dip.
  • If you want to add some crunch, finely chopped spring onions (scallions) work.
