Urgent! How long can baked blue cheese and neufchatel cheese stay out

I will be over for my tasting later! haha...Well, following the rules of food safety: after an item is cooled to the safe temperature of 70F you would then refrigerate the product. For an item such as this it would likely take 1 to 1 1/2 hours to cool to that temperature. After that an item should be refrigerated. If you were to make, bake and consume you have 6 hours to do so (if you don't refrigerate)

As you are not serving these to the public. I wouldn't be worried about the cheese. Its unlikely to cause any sort of issue. I hope this helps. If you need any clarification: just ask!
