The Toad's Famous Blue Cheese Dressing

- This is an iteration of the recipe from a Restaurant I worked in many moons ago. The Yellow Brick Toad. It was a wonderful time in my life. I enjoyed the comradery, the grind, the hustle, and most importantly that is where I found my wife!
David, God Bless and Thank you!!!
Grew up hot air ballooning with Terry Harrison in the late 80s. We spent many evenings at the Toad. I was an early teen and it was one of those first times I felt like an adult.
Sounds like a great memory! I can remember all of the Hot air Ballons and Music Festivals David had then. They where quite something to be around. I grew up basically across the street, before I worked for him in the late 90's.
Thank you for the share!!!
Years ago we had a sit-down restaurant. We would take some baked potatoes & quarter them. Then deep fry them. Once out of the deep frier, we would drizzle some made blue cheese dressing over them. They were a big hit.
I put a tiny bit of dill and it gives it just a hint of "ranch" essence, just a tiny bit and it changes the whole thing but i can't do without it!
Nice! I like to hear how you made it your own!
I will have to give it a try next time I make it!
Thank you for sharing!!! All the ingredients I will use for sure can’t wait too try this 😋😋
LMK, what you think!
If you keep it in the coldest part of the fridge (bottom shelf in back is pretty cold) and don't contaminate it and don't leave it out of the fridge you will be surprised at how long it will last. If it smells good and tastes good it is good!
Good to know! Personally, I've not had a batch make it to the 3rd day.
Can't wait to try this! I really enjoyed the format & presentation style, too.
Thank you so much for the kind words and information!
I have made a lot of dressings and vinaigrettes, this one is by far my favorite!
Hope you enjoy it too!
I made this today, and although i'm not sure if mine tastes anything like your original, it tastes great!! 😊
In order to storing it in the fridge for a few days, i omitted the shalot, garlic and parsley so far, as i didn't know if it would change the taste over time.
I'm going to complete it the last minute before serving.....The part of the brandy and exactly the same danish cheese i also have to figure out, as i can't get my hands on St. Pete's cheese around here.....maybe it's just under a different name.....i used St. Agure from france...
Anyway, thank you for sharing the recipe, and for the inspiration to my first blue cheese dressing !! 😊😊
Hi Marion! Thank you for dropping a comment. I'm glad you tried it. Nice! choice of cheese. If the blue cheese has a prominent tangy flavor, then I'm sure your Dressing will taste like mine. As for the shallot and garlic, do not be afraid to mix it in. It will change for the better! I've had 2 observations: The garlic will get more pronounced, and you should get about 4-5 days in refrigerator before the taste starts to decline (not go bad, just not fresh like the first few days). Source what you have available to you in your area (the brandy and the Danish style blue cheese) Enjoy!
Hi Robert, we just enjoyed it this very evening!
fishpattie-burger on sourdough bread with bluecheese sauce and crudites and bluecheese dip on the side......it was DELICIOUS! Added the garlic and the shalot last minute...
Thank you also for suggesting to just add the ingredients first hand.....and to use what's available for me....
I managed to get the Hellmann's mayo in my local supermarket....🙂
although there is a little bit left, it wont last 4-5 days😅......
It's just to addictive and a great way to enjoy salads and vegetables.
Thanks again for the recipe !!
What a great combination you had for dinner! I am so glad you like it! It does go well with many combinations.
@@acutaboverecipes7422 ..... i think it's going to be a staple in our kitchen from now on 😊👍
Substitute dill for parsley.....
Substitute whole buttermilk for sour cream....
Substitute lemon juice for brandy ....
Incredible !!!
Hmmm. . .Interesting choices!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Hi if you could please use a Pyrex mixing bowl you won’t be able to see your lightning or ceiling in your house. Actually the optical illusion sort of makes me have motion sickness. But Awesome Video New to the Channel Thank You 🙏
I will work on eliminating the glare in future episodes! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Good thing he showed the alcohol. And if he learn that recipe from a restaurant than there are other way to find blue cheese dressing with out no bad ingredients especially when children are eating out.
Thanks for reaching out. Of course I would explain that brandy is included in the dressing, it is what makes it unique in flavor. Any quality restaurant will not hide facts like that, as well as other ingredients that would pertain to allergies. But, just as I have done with my son, it is the parents responsibility to figure out what is acceptable in a recipe, or on a menu.
What is "SOP"?
Thank you for reaching out! Sorry it was garbled in video, I tried to say "v.s.o.p."
That is a Cognac classification- "Very Superior Old Pale" which means the Cognac was aged a minimum of four years.
Light sour cream? 👎🏻
It's all about choices.
Too much talking!!!
Thank you for your input! What style of cooking video do you prefer?
Try Duke's, excellent.
I have now tried it, since making this video. I agree it has a great taste! I still will grab Hellmans first, but now I have another choice and look forward to using Duke's more!
