I had a bunch of cheese leftover from my big birthday bash (I always buy too much cheese, there must be some kind of support group for that kind of thing). And then I was looking at the Smitten Kitchen blog and saw this "recipe", general guidelines really . http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/12/fromage-fort/

So I took my bits and bobs; some really good stuff, a goat brie, cheese aged in walnut shells, sheep cheese in herbs, stilton in port, a primitive form of tilstiter and a couple others, mixed it with leftover champagne (it was a good party), garlic, chives and a bit of butter. Very good. So good I may not try to stop buying too much cheese. I had some cold and also broiled some on a slice of bread. Oh man. That hot stuff was fantastic. So now I have a good amount of this stuff, any other suggestions on what to do with it? I am definitely making some tomato soup next week so I can stick some more on bread and BROIL IT! What else???

Let me see if I can manage something a little better for you when you visit. I will even take you to my cheese store and you can pick out too much cheese.

When I last went to London I got to but too much cheese from Neal's Yard dairy. It was wonderful.

Mary,

Rolled omlette.

My solution for leftover ends of cheese is usually Mac&Cheese Casserole.

Opinions on whether I can freeze Frommage Fort? I was out of town this weekend and came back and noticed the lovely almost 2 pounds of cheese I had leftover from last weekends party was start to go green and fuzzy. I ended up with 2 containers of frommage fort, about 1 lb each. We won't go through it nearly quickly enough, so I am wondering if I can freeze one.

If not, we will have mac and cheese one night this week!

Thanks,

Clearly I need more left over cheese. A good thing to work on.

I answered my own question. Jacques Pepin says it can be frozen, so the other container is getting frozen. :)
