Hello! Do you love cheese? Well if you do, you might end up having a lot of leftover cheese odds and ends in your fridge. At a certain point it can be difficult to know what to do with all these scraps. Let me introduce you to a dish called Fromage Fort. It is a traditional French dish that utilizes old pieces of leftover cheese and blends them together with garlic and wine to make a strong yet delicious cheese spread.
The process is very simple: You take all the leftover cheese parts from your fridge. Trim any mold, rind, or crustiness that has accumulated. Peel a few cloves of garlic. Using a food processor, blend the cheese into a coarse paste, and then make it smooth by adding a splash of wine while the machine is running. And that is all there is to it!
Fromage Fort is great as a dip for some vegetables or crackers. It is also nice to mix it into some pasta, but don’t tell your Italian friends! But the most simple and classic way to enjoy it is spread on a nice piece of bread.
Throwing away food that still has potential should always be avoided. Making Fromage Fort is a beautiful and tasty way to keep viable cheese scraps in your refrigerator from going into the trash. So give it a try!
