"You can use bleu cheese instead if you wish, but the Gorgonzola gives it a little something extra. This is really good on butter crackers, or whatever you prefer...I've even heard it's good used as a dip for apple slices. Cook time is for refrigeration, and serving size is about a tablespoon (total recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups)."
