Let’s have it! What’s the cheesiest recipe you’ve got?

I love cheese!

It can be good and less cheesy or really good and really cheesy or any combination… As long as good and cheese are both there in copious amounts!

I take out Premium Saltine Crackers and lay them on a plate. I then sprinkle shredded Mozzarella and Cheddar and/or Pepperjack on them, and then I microwave the plate for 40 seconds.

Yummy melted cheese crackers

Get a really good Stilton. Get a Stilton spade. Peel a perfect pear and slice it. Eat some Stilton, eat some pear.

There’s a great Moosewood recipe that uses a potato pancake crust, and inside lots of broccoli, cauliflower, onions and whatever other vegies you like, filled in with a couple eggs and lots of cheddar cheese. Baked for a while. Delicious.

spaghetti bolognese with parmeggiano reggiano, or ground gouda.
these two are the only kinds of cheese i actually like.

I have a homemade Mexican recipe that starts with a whole chicken and ends up being a dozen monster enchiladas that are covered (and filled) with four kinds of cheese. My most complicated recipe, and perhaps the best thing I make. From beginning to end, it takes about two days to do.

Cheese is best with lots of peppers, and I put both in my enchiladas.

I love melted Brie scooped up, all hot and gooey on a cracker or piece of crusty bread.

Port Salut is nice too.

This is a quick dish I make on vegetarian nights, heat olive oil in pan, add garlic, chilis, some red and yellow capsicums and spring onions. Throw in a can or 2 or roma tomatoes, some red or french lentils, or a mixture of both (might have to add some water if there is not enough juice in the tomatoes), I like some green beans or broccoli for color and some sliced black olives. Some fresh basil (save some for a garnish too), salt, pepper, little brown sugar, hit of balsamic vinegar, simmer it all together for a while. Just before you serve put in lots of mozzarella. We try to avoid white carbs so usually eat it in a soup bowl with a spoon. If you eat the carbs then have it over pasta or crusty bread, it is good either way. My husband adds parmagan too, but I don’t like it so I don’t.

@rooeytoo if you didn’t live so far away, I’d be over for dinner in a heartbeat.

@Psychedelic_Zebra – heheheh, I would love to have you. After dinner, you could capture and adopt all the damned spiders and lizards that live in my house.

Tyler’s Ultimate Mac and Cheese:

But, double the bacon (it gets sprinkled on the top but if you don’t double it, there’s not enough) and substitute 2 cups of the sharp cheddar for mild b/c it adds depth of flavor.

I like a walnut and honey brie. Take walnuts crush them and roll the brie in them. Add honey on top and heat up in the oven. Serve with some hearty wheat crackers- so tasty!

@rooeytoo oh gosh, if only that could really happen, and you and my wife could sit in the kitchen and make clucking noises at my apparent mental instability.

For the short time that I was in the SCA, there was a lot of food. :D

There was this great recipe that was dead simple: home-made pasta layered with cheddar cheese in a square baking pan, cooked until the cheese melted. Soooo good.

Also, homemade mac n cheese is delicious.

Oh! Velveeta with Rotelle (in Mexican section….like diced tomatoes with seasoning). Chip sauce. Wonderful!

My all time favorite bake.

Macaroni and Cheese! I love it, but I’ve experimented quite a bit to make one that is a bit less fattening, but still has all the great taste and texture that you’ve come to expect from mac n cheese. I can’t give you the exact recipe because I’ve pilfered parts from several cookbooks and added my own touches.

Basically you need to find a good, basic, baked mac n cheese recipe (one that involves making a roux with milk and flour, and I use Smart Balance, instead of butter and I use non-fat milk). Before you make the roux, sautee about 2 cups of sliced white button mushrooms with a little bit of chopped onion, olive oil and a dollop of Smart Balance (heart healthy margarine) until just slightly browned, but not reduced down. While you’re making the roux (in a large sauce pan), your noodles (I like penne or big elbows) are boiling in another pot until just al dente. After your roux has thickened up sufficiently (it thickens less because of the non-fat milk, but don’t worry) add a cup of lower-fat cheddar cheese and ½ a cup of the best sharp cheddar you can find (such as Trader Joe’s sharp cheddar from Australia), plus the sauteed mushrooms and mix thoroughly, then add the surprise ingredient: one slice of cooked, crumbled fake bacon (I use Morningstar Farms brand). Then drain your pasta, dump it into the cheesy, mushroomy roux and mix well, then pour the whole thing into a casserole dish, pre-sprayed with Pam and bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. You can also sprinkle Panko breadcrumbs on top before you bake. Bon Apetite!

Here’s another mac and cheese recipe that is super-easy and you might even get the kids to eat it. My cousin used to make this when I was little and I thought she was a gourmet cook. Just prepare Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (or Trader Joe’s or Amy’s brand if you like them better) according to the package directions, except that you dump about a cup of chopped fresh broccoli florets into the boiling water at the very last minute before you drain the noodles. This is soooo good!

And one MORE cheese dish to ponder. I just posted this to someone’s question about having lots of feta cheese. Take a warm flour tortilla, add about ¾ of a cup of crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons of your favorite marmalade (for a change of pace try blood orange, lime or tangerine) add a teaspoon of chopped hazelnuts and 3 or 4 leaves of mint. Roll it up and enjoy. This is one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast.

Fried cheese. Put a 1–2” mound of shredded cheddar on a hot griddle until browned. May have to turn it once.

Grilled cheddar cheese and sardine sandwich with a bit of the spicy mustard/mayo blend.
