This appetizer will elevate any gathering or party, whether it be football or a cockatil party. Simple to make, its creamy flavor of blue cheese, sour cream and cream cheese are perfect to spread over gourmet crackers or paired with fruits such as grapes or pears.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a 9 inch springform pan by buttering it liberally.
Beat together the cream cheese and the blue cheese until light and fluffy.
Mix in 1 cup of the sour cream (reserve the remaining 1 ½ cup) and the pepper.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each egg.
Stir in onions and nuts.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let stand on a cooling rack for 5 minutes (do not turn off the oven).
Spread the remaining 1 ½ cups sour cream on the top of the cake and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove, allow to cool on a wire rack and then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. Remove outer ring of springform pan when serving to allow ease of slicing.
Serve with crackers, cocktail rye toast and grapes.
