Questions

Can I make Stilton and Walnut Pâté dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (7 oz Stilton cheese, crumbled, 4 oz cream cheese, softened, 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

How long does Stilton and Walnut Pâté keep?

Refrigerate it in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.

Can I halve or double Stilton and Walnut Pâté?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
