What to do with leftover bits of cheese?

It's also lovely in Welsh Rarebit. Or Buck Rarebit, if you put an egg on top. Yum

Or with a crisp green apple.

I'd also be prepared to use it in an omlette, in some ways I'd use cheddar....e.g. on baked potatoes, in pies or with British recipes were cheese is called for....as opposed to trying it say in n Italian dish.

I love the idea of cheesy mash with wensleydale. This ould also be use to top a fish pie/cottage pie/chicken potato-top pie.

I used up my didn't get used on the cheeseboard Wensleydale in a not very healthy but utterly delicious recipe. I do love Wensleydale, it's the nearest I can get up here in Co.Durham to Caerphilly, which is impossible to find. I recommend it with fruit cake and an apple, pure heaven.
Anyway, some of you might remember that Greggs used to do a puff pastry wrap with cheese and bacon, they don't seem to do it now (Salt and cholesterol levels were probably through the roof)
You can make your own by grating cheese onto a rectangle of puff pastry and placing a rasher or two of back bacon over, topping with a bit more grated cheese.
Make the rectangle into a wrap shape and brush with milk or beaten egg. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins in a hot oven 220 C, or Gas Mark 8. At Christmas it wasn't bacon I used but left over Black Forest Ham.
Delicious and naughty.

wensleydale is a delicious cheese, and another poster has pointed out its similarity to caerphilly cheese - so for authentic welsh rarebit or glamorgan sausages then wensleydale is a darn good alternative!

Really good sprinkled on top of an omelette and flashed under a grill!

I also believe that the Wensleydale Creamery does a delicious Wensleydale cheesecake

I add the inedible rinds from Parmesan cheese to pasta sauce ... it imparts a great flavour ... You remove the rinds at the end of cooking

I never knew they were inedible ... :eek:

Did a cheeseboard Xmas day and it was hardly touched. We've been having cheese and crackers for suppers but getting a bit fed up of it now but don't want to waste the cheese. There are a few varieties, smoked, cranberry, chilli etc - any ideas for anything I could make with them? Don't like omelettes unfortunately. Will they be ok to freeze?
