the only other thing i came up with was a quiche but again im the only one that would eat it and its hardly figure friendly!:o

Mmmm well cheese in general isn't... personally, i would just have it on crusty bread, 'cos it's yum. but also it works well in a white sauce as mentionned above or in a creamy pasta sauce (again no diet food i'm afraid).
Never really thought about freezing it and i wouldn't really (because of the high water content) unless it was to use it in cooking (rather than eating on crackers or bread...

Does anyone have a recipe for broccoli and stilton pasta? I have my broccoli, my stilton (frozen in small pieces after Christmas!) but no actual recipe.
Should I just cook my broccoli, mix it with cooked pasta and the cheese?
Or should I melt the cheese first?

id be tempted to make a cheese sauce (i normally cheat with a 39p packet lol:o ) and then mix the stilton in the sauce till melted and pour over the cooked broccoli and cooked pasta then sprinkle with cheese and stick back in the oven till bubbling and brown

Hello there..... totally agree with the above post..... but you could simply look for a any pasta broccoli and gorgonzola recipe on the internet like this Broccoli and Gorgonzola pasta recipe and replace the gorgonzola with the stilton.... they are very similar cheeses in taste but the stilton may need a little more time to melt!

I have a handful of hazel nuts and about 8oz of stilton that need to be used today, well the stilton does and nuts sound nice to go with it.

I made a brocolli and stilton soup last night from a rather large piece of left over, reduced priced Xmas cheese.

Before this site I would have not blinked before throwing it away, now I'd hate to and will even eat it on crakers if I have to, but would rather cook something delish with it.

I have laods of store cupboard stuff and almost every usual veg (some not so usual, but not a great variety).

I know one of you will have a lovely surprise for me
Thanks in advance

Potted cheese? Mash up the stilton with a littel bit of melted butter, and a dash of port or brandy if you have any. You can add a pinch of mace too, if you have any, but it's not essential with the stilton. Pack the cheese into ramekins and chill until you need it, but take it out a while before you serve it because it's best at room temp. If you want to save the potted cheese, seal the top with a little melted (or clarified, if you have the time) and it will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

I love toasted hazelnuts chopped and mixed into crumble ...

How about cauliflower chese made with stilton and with grated/finely chopped hazlenuts sprinkled on top before a final grilling.

Green salad made with rocket/watercress/landcress/very finely shredded cabbage, and the stilton in small cubes. Coarsely chop the hazlenuts and then dry fry them for a few minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add a little oil (olive, groundnut, hazlenut, basically anything except corn) a couple of tablespoons should do, and then a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice (but all of this is to taste) swish it around and pour onto the salad leaves and mix together.
