Leftover cheese recipes

[mbcdefg]

Hi - I had a holiday party last night and I made a cheese plate, but I refrigerated it right away when it became clear that nobody wanted it.

I'm looking for recipes that incorporate the cheese. I'm not really interested in just eating it as a straight cheese plate, and I made mac and cheese recently so I don't particularly want to make it again.

I have sharp cheddar, Brie, Gruyere, Gouda, and Wensleydale cranberry: www.cheese.com/wensleydale-cranberries/

I also have half a log of the cinnamon cranberry goat cheese from Costco.

Any idea what I can make using these cheeses? No allergies and I'm open to pretty much any kind of cuisine.

I also have chicken breasts, bacon, broccoli, and prosciutto in the fridge right now. I am thinking of using some of the cheese to stuff the chicken and then I'll wrap it in the prosciutto. And of course I can use eggs to make breakfast omelets or quiche.

Thanks for any ideas!

The cheddar would be great for omelets, quiches, burritos. It can also be used with the chicken and broccoli in a casserole with rice.

Brie is lovely baked, but also serves as a great spread on a sandwich, or on toast with chocolate (or nutella).

The gruyere sounds perfect for your chicken prosciutto idea.

Gouda would be good on a turkey sandwich, on top of a pizza, or rolled into meatballs.

Both the cranberry cheeses I personally would add to a sandwich or salad.

Great suggestions above.

You could have some of the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever.

You could stuff the chicken breast with the Wensleydale cranberry. They actually have a recipe on their website, along with some others that sound good. www.wensleydale.co.uk/blog/category/cheese/yorkshire-wensleydale-cranberries/

They would all make great toppings for flatbread, and there are endless possibilities for combining with other toppings. I am not a meat eater, so things like figs, red onions, caramelized onions, arugula, and spinach come to mind.

French onion soup with gruyere is always popular.

I really like this:  www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/fromage-fort-recipe.html

I have used any mix of cheese I have on hand and all have tasted good.

If you melt the sharp cheddar, Brie, Gruyere, and Gouda into a roux, you have a fantastic cheese sauce for vegetables like the broccoli that you mentioned.
