What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Talking Points: Bored With Cheese? Anyone who has perused a deli market understands how confusing the cheese categories have become. The choices appear endless. Cheese can be aged for months, hand-rubbed with robust Italian spices, shelf-cured for optimal quality, or made with passion from a local dairy. Who knew? I recently picked up a “cheese flight” of three Wisconsin varieties. I loved the description detailing the best pairing options for fruits, nuts, and beverages. Not only is it a great way to try mild or robust cheeses, it turns a charcuterie board into a win, win for the night.
BORED WITH CHEESE?
Ingredients:
3.5-ounce wedge Tuscan-rubbed fontina cheese
3-ounce wedge parmesan cheese
1.5-ounce edge bleu cheese
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced
1/2 cup walnut halves
Crackers and baguette slices
Instructions:
Arrange cheeses, apple slices, and walnut halves on a cutting board. Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, beer, and wine.

“BORED with cheese!??” This title suggested you were going to diss cheese as boring and supply an alternative. Thankfully, it was misleading and you introduced anything BUT boring cheeses.
The longest aisle in our Kroger (that is the one that takes me the longest to pass through) is by the cheese deli! A complete counter of a multitude of omnifarious culinary bovine provisions to tempt the tastebuds! And on rare occasions, we break open our safe and purchase some of the delicacies.
When we get to Heaven, apparently, we won’t be able to eat beef, but it will be hard for it to be Heaven if we can’t milk the cows and make cheese. 😋

Never bored with cheese at all. Most of all not in our area where you get all varieties of cheese and have so many options to use it. When I think about it, I am eating cheese on a daily basis😄

Yesterday, I made baked Emmental cheese, a recipe I know from my hometown Vienna, then we have the many many Swiss cheese dishes… I love it 😋

Would you mind sharing the recipe? I have Emmental on hand right now and I’m debating how to serve it.

Oh, that’s so simple. I cut small blocks of the cheese and freeze it before using it. Then I turn each piece first in flower, then whisked egg, and then bread crumbs (and repeat it one more time). After that I put it in hot oil (enough oil that the pieces can “swim” and bake them until they are golden brown. I put them into the oven for a while to make sure that the whole inner chees is melted. We serve it with lingonberry compote (cranberries work well too), and a lemon wedge. I hope that helps… hehe!
