leftover speciality cheeses

MrsCrafty

Make pastry, put in a tin/flan dish/ceramic oven ware, pop a sheet of baking paper over the top with enough to cover the sides and blind bake using rice as the weight for about 5-7 minutes.

Then get whatever you like, bits of cooked turkey, gammon ham, chicken and stir in a bowl with grated cheese and eggs and pour in. You can add frozen peas, broccolli, whatever.

You will have a lovely flan/quiche or whatever.

I've seperated my cheddar/red leicester and even applewood to be used as everyday stuff sandwiches, toasties or top of dishes, leaving me with the cheese with chuntney/cranberries etc.

I asked the other day about camembert, and I'm still not too sure what I'm doing with the leftovers.

Don't have any brie but if i did, M & S do a lovely brie, cranberry sauce and grape sandwich so I'd replicate that.

we have a leftover speciality cheese thread

If you use the search function, most types of cheese will also have their own thread - I am unsure what you have

You can also freeze cheese?

we will merge this later on

I have lots of different cheeses to use up, goats cheese, brie, manchego, cheddar and apart from making cheese sticks have no other ideas.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Yummy! Share the love and buy some crackers, breadsticks, fruit and wine and invite some friends over this evening for a nice mid-winter treat.

You can freeze hard cheese.It's easier to either slice or grate it before freezing,so you don't have defrost the whole lot before using.

I would have the Brie or goat's cheese on toast with some onion marmalade.

HTH.

macaroni cheese dish, maybe?
flour and milk on the hob to make a roux and then add a mix of grated cheese and a few other ones maybe. add in some cut up fried crispy bacon, all mixed with macaroni after. Delish.
I dunno...that's what i'd do.

I too had a chunk of cheese as a gift. Blue Stilton it was. I put stock, broccoli, onion, potato and cheese in a pot and made the most divine soup. I didn't know we liked blue Stilton but I did not want to waste it. Google ideas.

Goats cheese tarts with onion will freeze after making. Make cheese sauces and freeze too

Why not make batches of cheese sauce to freeze? Four cheese sauce etc... you can then thaw them for macaroni cheese, cauliflower cheese etc..
