Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz blue cheese, crumbled and divided
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup finely chopped green olives (pitted)
- 1/2 cup olive brine (from the olive jar)
- 2 oz gin (optional, for authentic flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra chopped olives and olive oil for garnish
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese, half of the blue cheese crumbles, sour cream, chopped olives, olive brine, gin (if using), and garlic powder into a medium bowl.
- Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season the dip with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust brine or seasoning as needed for desired saltiness and tang.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Top the dip with the remaining blue cheese crumbles and a drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with extra chopped olives for garnish.
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve cold with crackers, pita chips, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the gin entirely. The brine provides the signature flavor.
- You can make this dip up to 2 days ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer a less intense blue cheese flavor, reduce the amount of blue cheese used.
