CHEESE!
I love cheese. So much variety and goodness! Smoked Gouda, Mozarella, Pepper Jack, Sharp Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesean, Havarti, Brie, Camembert, Chevre...
We have all sorts of recipes that include CHEESE! mentioned here in Cooking, but I can't find any one central thread. That's what this one is all about - your favorite recipes that include cheese. Here are two of mine to kick it off!
Cheesey Potatoes
6 red, gold, purple, or Russett potatoes
10 oz Sour Cream
2 cups grated Cheddar Cheese
Chopped green onion
Bread Crumbs or saltine crackers
Preheat oven. 350 or 375 F both work well. Boil and mash 6 potatoes (peeling optional). Place mashed potatoes in casserole dish. Add a dash of salt and fresh-ground pepper. Fold in 10 oz sour cream and 1 cup cheese. Smooth out to evenly cover casserole dish. Sprinke over top remaining cheese, green onion, and bread crumbs. Warm in oven until cheese is melted in the center. Take out before cheese begins to brown.
Fresh Mozarella Sandwich
Bagette, Rosemarry Bagette, or Chiabatta bread
Fresh Mozarella
Tomato, sliced
Eggplant, sliced
Spinach (or Swiss Chard or Mustard Greens)
Dijon mustard
Mayo optional
Slice fresh mozarella, tomato, and eggplant. Rinse spinach or greens.
For a delicious experience, place on bread as follows:
Bread
(Mayo)
2 or 3 fresh slices Tomato
3 Mozarella slices
1 slice Eggplant
Spinach/Greens
Dijon Mustard
(Mayo)
Bread
Variation on this theme:
If you have no mozarella, take out the mustard and replace mayo on the above order with cream cheese. Sprinkle salt & pepper over cream cheese. It's delicious this way, too!
