Carrigaline Farmhouse Cheese

Recipes
Here are some of our favourite ways to use Carrigaline Farmhouse Cheese in cooking, from ourselves, and various chefs who use our cheese.

Pre-Appetiser
Use Carrigaline Farmhouse Cheese with salami, served on some fresh homemade brown bread.

Appetiser
Lightly grill slices of french bread on both sides. Spread with garlic butter and cover with sundried or fresh tomatoes. Replace under the grill for one minute. Place slices of Garlic & Herb Carrigaline Farmhouse Cheese on top and return under the grill until the cheese is fully melted. Serve immediately.

Method:

• Season chops and grill for 10-15 mins. on each side.
• Meanwhile, place apples in a saucepan with 3 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook gently until the apples form a thick pulp. Mix in half the cheese.
• Spread the apple mixture over the cooked chops. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
• Return the chops to the grill and cook until the cheese melts.
