⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp white wine vinegar
½ tsp worcestershire sauce

For the blue cheese sauce

4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1/4 cup of blue cheese is low in lactose. This recipe contains about 3 1/2 tablespoons per serving, which stays within that amount, so it is likely fine for many people. If you prefer to always avoid blue cheese, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 stalks celery, cut into sticks (optional)
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray.
2
Make the blue cheese sauce: stir together the crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined but still slightly chunky. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
