Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

3/4 cup button mushrooms, sliced

5 ounces hard blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola, Stilton or Danish Blue

2/3 cup sour cream

1/3 cup grated Pecorino cheese

1/3 cup broken walnut pieces

salt and ground black pepper

Method:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the mushrooms and gently saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
2. Place the blue cheese and cream in a bowl, add seasoning to taste, and mash together well using a fork. 
3. Stir the cheese mixture into the mushroom mixture and heat gently, stirring, until melted.
4. Finally, stir in the Pecorino cheese and the walnut pieces. Serve warm.
