    I've got some cheese that no-one in the family likes, it's cheddar with apple and mustard. I'm loathe to throw it away and was thinking if I used it in a lasagne or something would the taste not be noticable or would it just ruin it? There's about 100 grams.
  • Definitely use it in a cheese sauce or maybe savoury muffins/scones.
    Put the kettle on. ;)

    can i freeze cheese may help & cheese sauce recipes and questions and what to do with leftover cheese.

    Im sure there was a big cheese thread - can't put my fingers on it!

    What about cheese straws?

    or home made cheese scones

    or cheese and potato pie?

    I'll merge this later
    thanks

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I'll give it a go in something big to spread the taste out. I'd tried it as cheese on toast and it was yukky. It's the mustard in it I don't like.

    could you use half of it and half cheddar to weaken the strong taste? That's what I would try. And freeze some :)

    Give it to a friend... good deeds are usually returned in some way or another... and it might be better than the cheese :)

    There's only 100g altogether;). We are talking about 80p - £1 worth of cheese.

    By the time you've faffed about spoiling two or three pieces of food with it you might as well bin it.

    Or you could send it to me.;)

    The flavours in the cheese sound like they would be great in some sort of savoury cheesecake!
