Fromage Fort
This classic French spread is a genius (and super-simple) way to use leftover chunks and bits of cheese. It all comes together in a snap in your food processor. When picking your cheeses, use a mix of hard and soft varieties so you get a spreadable consistency—the amounts do not need to be exact. Use anything you've got in your fridge! For inspiration try Brie, Swiss, blue cheese, and goat cheese. Camambert, aged Gouda, and cheddar would also be fantastic here. The only thing to remember is to cut away and discard any hard rinds that you don't want in your spread.
Ingredients
- 1 pound leftover cheeses
- 1 clove garlic (a little goes a long way)
- ½ cup dry white wine
- Sliced crostini or sturdy crackers
- Fresh herb of choice, minced
Instructions
- Grate the hard cheeses and cut the soft ones into smaller pieces. Cut off any rinds you don’t want to include.
- Put cheese, garlic, and dry white wine in a food processor and blend until almost smooth.
- Spread on crackers, or for a delish treat, spread on toast points and pop under a broiler until bubbly. Top with chives, parsley, or herb of your choice.
