what to do with gorgonzola?

LoosingMyLast15

i am now the proud owner of 4lbs of gorgonzola cheese thanks to my inlaws. this is just one of 3 other cheeses i am now in possession of but the one that has me stumped the most on what to do with it. other than the obvious (make gorzonzola sauce but that's SO FATTENING!) anyone have suggestions/recipes? feel free to share with me.

Gorgonzola is sweet heaven!

When I ate bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc... type of carbs, it went on just about all of them.

I don't eat like that anymore, now I put it on salads, vegetables and steak. Love it

It's great in salads

When in doubt I throw things in salads and/or omelettes.

If it didn't come already crumbled, crumble and freeze it! Lasts a long time and you can take out of the freezer as needed for recipes.

I second crumbling in salad, especially green salad which contains some fruit like pear or grapes. If you can spare the calories, add a couple of toasted walnuts or pecans to the salad too. Spread on toast. Melt a little on a steak or porkchop. Have reconstituted dried figs for desert with a little gorgonzola on the side. Poach the dried figs in a combination of water and red wine until plump and boil down the cooking liquid to make a syrupy sauce. The alcohol evaporates so you don't need to count full calories for the wine used in cooking.

That's what I'd do. Or put it on steak (if you eat red meat). Sooo tasty.

I also like to make a blue cheese cheeseball, but that's not exactly healthy.

Melt that on potatoes.

Melt it on ANYTHING. Oh god the endless possibilities, it's the perfect cheese with a snobby wine.

Grate some on your soups. Great with onion soup, or minestrone. Also good on a pita pizza. Grate some on some fresh popped popcorn. On top of anything with marinara. On chicken, on salad, on sauteed mushrooms. Oh and I saw a comment that said to crumble and freeze, but FYI, keep some in a block, and use it to fresh grate over whatever. You don't have to thaw it first, just grate it when frozen. So good!
