Ever stared at the appetizer platter, trying to decide whether you should devour the cheese or hummus first? We can’t be the only ones! Now you can have the best of both worlds with this savory Gorgonzola Hummus.
Gorgonzola cheese is one of my all-time favorite cheeses. It’s savory, with a sharp and creamy goodness that pairs well with anything needing a little WOW. From wine tastings to fancy dinners, gorgonzola is your friend. I mean, have you ever tried it in pasta? If there’s a way to fit it into a meal, I will find it. Gorgonzola burgers, check, gorgonzola in a salad, covered, gorgonzola in an omelet-meh haven’t gone there…YET. So why not make Gorgonzola Hummus?
Hummus is also up there on my favorites list. I keep a big bowl of it in the fridge at all times. It’s the perfect snack and packed with protein and lots of other healthy things I should probably have memorized by now, but I don’t because HUMMUS can do no wrong.
Now take the all mighty hummus and combine it with gorgonzola cheese…mind blown. Yeah, even the picky little men in the house devoured it. They asked me to put it in their lunches every day-and they aren’t even the biggest fans of gorgonzola cheese.
This Gorgonzola Hummus is seriously something special. Throw it on the table for an afternoon snack, bring it along for a picnick, or hide out in the laundry room and have it all to yourself. You do your thing, we wont tell.
enjoy!
