4. They say cheese makes everything better

and I apply that axiom quite frequently in everyday life. I’ll try to restrict my pick to dishes where the cheese is the star.

I’m also fond of casseroles of all sorts, so my favorite is probably one of those.

Keeping cheese in the starting role, I’m thinking of a nice 4-cheese and spinach baked with pasta topped with fresh tomatoes added a few minutes before removing from oven. The symphony of herbs and spices is still negotiable as of now.

6. Raclette with potatoes and speck and prosciutto

And then Roquefort or Colston Bassett Stilton.

Parmesan is another favourite.

Too many cheeses, too little time

[PJMcK]

12. Ahh, raclette!

I first had this in the Swiss Alps. Potatoes and cornichons along with white wine. Fabulous.

There used to be a restaurant near NYC’s Lincoln Center called the Monk’s Inn that served this with the fire and cheese wheel right next to your table. Sadly, it’s long gone.

I also had it at a little rustic spot in Beacon, NY otherwise I’ve never see it in the States.

[GoneOffShore]

15. There are several raclette places in Montreal and elsewhere across Canada

And, if you really miss having it, you can buy a tabletop raclette grill, so you can host your own cheese party!
https://raclettecorner.com/
or on Amazon - They run about $65
The Raclette Corner website has a list of places in the US that do raclette, so you might be able to find one near you.

17. Thanks!

It’s really a special treat and I didn’t even think of it when I read the OP.

I really do like a good cheese fondue, too.

[electric_blue68]

38. I was hoping to have that when I was in Switzerland but ....

my aunt couldn't eat the potatoes.

However as mentioned I had home made Fondue at their friend's house. First time!

And one if our many food mini vendor set ups pre Covid I had raclette shaved onto bread. Yum!

7. Mac and cheese made with extra sharp cheddar

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[GoodRaisin]

44. That stuff rocks.

[Phoenix61]

8. I love all cheese, especially the soft ones you can spread on crackers.

Like cranberry/feta, alouette garlic and herb, cheddar with red wine…

9. I titled it the Niagara Cheese Stick

I place about roughly a 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese with a tablespoon of parmesan cheese and mix it up in a bowl.



I turn on the stovetop to heat up a coated non-stick pan on low heat. I place about half of the mixture in the pan and wait for the bottom to turn brown. I flip it over like a pancake and flatten it out a bit with a pancake turner.


My inside ingredients varies, my usual inside ingredients are marinara sauce and sliced kosher pickles. Sometimes, it's marinara sauce and pepperoni.


After adding the inside ingredients, I fold it in half and flip it over on both sides to make sure the cheese is melting.


I haven't perfected this as of yet, so I haven't put the recipe into the weight loss group yet. It's very low carb and gluten free. Two of these are extremely filling.

10. It's... National Cheese Day! 👍🎉

Let me count the 🧡😄 ways...

•Mac & Cheese - drier version: cheddar cheese w crusty top
•White pizza w garlic
•Blue Cheese dressing
•Fondue - which I've only had once...
.
...homemade in Switzerland! 😄


Fun NYC cheese story.
There was a cheese shop on Chambers St west of West Broadway - where I first discovered sharp cheddar w garlic!
If you went into the building (as I was told to do), go up a flight of slightly shabby stairs (thinking to self - what the heck?), open the door and ...
.
~V'oila...
A bright, white table clothed, brick walled with pictures, and plants restaurant awaited you. Surprise!
And all the dishes were based around cheese!

I had a cheese and fruit platter. Maybe Welsh rarebit another time.

I would take friends there; with the same sketchy reaction I had going up those stairs, and surprise!
Good times. 🧡👍

11. Mine is ordinary: Swiss cheese and White American cheese.

I love Roquefort dressing.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

47. ☺️

[The Blue Flower]

13. Cheese grits

And I've ditched the box mac & cheese. Just can't stand the taste anymore. It's just as easy to cook the pasta and throw milk, butter, and deli American cheese into the pot when it's done.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[GreenWave]

14. Smoked Gouda from the Amish.

Old time flavor at today's prices!

21. Cheese is the best.

It ranks up there with chocolate.

Yummm.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[underpants]

22. I call them frumunda cheeseburgers

Melt the cheese over the tomato on the burger. Had one last night.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. Dad's Welsh Rarebit, using my Grandma Shorty's recipe.

Mom’s Blue Cheese dressing.

My chocolate cheesecake, always made and served with cherries on top for my husband’s birthday.

Cheese! My mother’s people were Norwegian dairy farmers from at least 4 generations back.
Cheese? Yes, please!

[Trailrider1951]

35. It's ALL my favorite, but I especially like Queso Blanco

with plenty of freshly made tortilla chips

[electric_blue68]

40. Any brand recommendations for that?

[Trailrider1951]

43. It's best made with Oaxaca cheese if you can find it. If not, you can substitute

a mixture of shredded Monterey Jack and Neufchatel, blended with cream, sautéed jalapenos, onions and fresh tomatoes. Muy delicioso!

[electric_blue68]

61. Ty. I can probably find that..

but also like a brand? We have "Tropical", for instance. I can't remember the other one I've. And what you know - might be a regional one.

Ty, again. 👍

[Trailrider1951]

65. I don't remember what brand it was, only that I bought it at the local HEB grocery market

when I lived near Austin. Alas, I am now in the Tacoma, WA area, and it's hard to find.

[electric_blue68]

66. Oh, no problem! 👍 I'll look up favorite/best brands if I want it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[IcyPeas]

41. Quiche made with Jarlsberg cheese.

Usually a broccoli or cauliflower or zucchini quiche

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Ocelot II]

68. Ooh, I love Jarlsberg cheese. Like Swiss only better.

[Danascot]

45. My wife and I made a pilgrimage

to the cheese caves in Roquefort-sur-Soulzon

46. Cheesy Potato Casserole, 😋.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[electric_blue68]

62. Like Potatoes Au Gratin?

[Emile]

63. Yes

[electric_blue68]

64. 👍🙂

[Ocelot II]

67. Anything with cheese in it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[malthaussen]

70. Honestly? American. Or cheddar.

My "favorite cheese dish" depends on what you mean by "favorite." The greatest cheese dish I ever had was Souffle Suissesse by Michel Roux Jr. at Le Gavroche in London. But for common, mundane purposes, my favorite dish that includes cheese as a staple is a form of tuna casserole made in my family that uses rice, Cheez Whiz, olives, and tuna. Yeah, I know, people shudder at the name "tuna casserole," but this one is not that one.
