Blue Cheese.... you either love it or you hate it.. me? I LOVE IT...
Blue cheese is made by adding cultures of the mold Penicillium into the cheese so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue mold. This cheese characteristic flavor is that of sharp and salty. The pungent distinct smell of this cheese is cause by the bacterium brevibacterium linens and this same bacterium also responsible for foot and body odors... yuckz... But overcome the smell and the melted blue cheese tasty of awfully good especially on meats like steak and it can also make a good dressing for salads.
So when I came across this recipes for a blue cheese muffin with bacon.. all of which I really love alot, I tell myself that I gonna try this one day and before you know it, I was shopping for blue cheese and bacon. Furthermore muffins are so easy to make it only take me less then 10 minutes of active time and the remaining is just waiting for the muffins to be ready.
