I'll second the Freeze it vote. I had a 1/4 round of stilton left over from last year and cut it up into inch square chunks, wrapped each in clingfim and put all in a couple of chinese tubs in the freezer. defrosted and used as normal or chucked into soup/risotto straight from the freezer.
i spent ages reading on here the best way to freeze cheese, and am glad it did as that was perfect.Relax, Breathe, Love 2014 Challenges:Cross Stitch Cafe Challenger 23. Frugal Living Challenger.

If I was you, I would just buy a baguette and get some salad out for a really indulgent supper
On toast would be good too, especially with some sliced onion on there with the cheese.

Hey all
I have just bought some Mexicana cheddar - cheddar with chillis in it, and it is so tastyI was wondering whether anyone had any recipes that used flavoured cheeses in them? I also like Green Thunder - cheddar with garlic and chives.
I'm veggie but can adapt meat recipes using tofu/quorn.

You could add them to cheese sauce, or grate on top of pasta bake. There's an older thread here that I'll add this one to later to keep ideas together:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
Cauliflower cheese. This recipe's just made for Mexicana. Just leave the bacon out and it's vegetarian.
I've tried it with "Red Hot Dutch" cheese too, which makes Mexicana look like a Kraft cheese slice. Cauliflower cheese that'll blow your head off.If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
I had a pizza from Asda the other day from their freshly made pizza counter, and it had chilli cheese cubed on top of chopped mushrooms, sweetcorn, red onion, and chilli peppers, and it was also drizzled with chilli oil - it was gorgeous! You could get a value pizza and add the toppings to it.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170

maybe look at mixing cheese flavours with relevant dishes - so a mexican chilli cheese melted over chilli/nachos/burritos.
sage cheese mixed with onions in a toastie (sage and onion stuffing-ish flavour!), or even roast onion quarters/simmer in milk and serve with a sage cheese sauce and bake with a coating of breadcrumbs.0 -
Try esquilladias (i have no idea how to spell or say it)
its a potato and chorizo (omit if veggie,could use potato, quorn chicken pieces, onion and peppers) tortillia with spicy cheese sauce (you could use normal cheese sauce and pop slices of the mexicana cheese ) looks like enchillada's, more cheese is added on top and oven baked.0
