The Big Cheese!

There is a rather big piece of Rocquefort cheese reclining in my refrigerator. It was kindly given to us, along with some fantastic honey, by a couple of frenchmen who did some business with us. I adore blue cheese, stilton and Danish blue but this is rather strong, even for me, to eat on crackers or with salad or anything like that where it is eaten raw. It is a shame and a wicked waste to throw away such a kind gift. Perhaps I could cook with it?

I thought of using it to stuff chicken breasts with, or making a cheese sauce with it. I can't think of anything else to do with it. I'm in one of my really unimaginative moods. Have you any ideas on what I could do with a very large piece of Rocquefort cheese? Or a favourite recipe for using blue cheese? Please help in this dilemma, thank-you?

I want to use it just am not sure how to use it. It is so strong

the French like extremely strong cheese.

I could eat it all - as is, Hats

Not a lot mind you, but I could. A cheese sauce sounds great though to make the most of it.

Trust me Elly, this is severely strong, I adore stilton and

the like but this is too strong even for me!!! I've bought rocquefort in the past and loved it but this is eye-wateringly strong.

Fortunately, it keeps, Hatsrus

So you have time to decide.

The only thing I have ever known to include blue cheese in is dressing. But I imagine, wherever you can use any cheese, you can use a specialty one.

How about grating up some in some homemade biscuits and a little crating of it on top before baking?
