Ingredients

4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup sour cream

4 oz. tangy blue cheese, such as Point Reyes

2 Tbs. chopped fresh chives

1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Preparation

In a bowl, using a handheld electric mixer fitted with the beater attachments, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Reduce the speed to low, add the sour cream and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the blue cheese and beat until the cheese is crumbled and no large lumps remain, about 1 minute. Stir in the chives and pepper.

Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week.
