For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of blue cheese varieties. If you don't have half-and-half, whole milk or heavy cream can be substituted. The dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if starting with a cold dip. Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a unique twist.
