Pheasant Breasts with Blue Cheese Cream Sauce
I love, love, love blue cheese and making it into a cream sauce it 10 times better. This sauce is perfect with any of your upland game – so feel free to clean out the freezer. Add toasted bread and a side salad with a glass (or two, we don’t judge) of Michael David Wine and you have a perfect meal.
