    Melt them in jacket potatoes, 10mins before the potato is due to come out of the oven put half a cheese in, then no need for butter or toppings, lovely with salad or beans X

    I'm sure you have heard of her.... The Hungry Girl? Well she has some REALLY good cookbooks (website too!) and she uses laughing cow for pretty much everything that calls for cheese!

    Check them out!

    I used them as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. On occasion, when I am feeling veggies, I'll put it on celery, broccoli, etc. The Light Creamy Swiss flavor is 35 cals. They're all pretty tasty.

    I spread mine on a slice of homemade banana bread for breakfast yesterday. Typically I'll spread it on rye toast or pita bread. I'd be interested to hear some more unconventional uses :tongue:

    I just had a sample at Trader Joe's. It was their corn tortilla seasame flats, broken into smaller pieces, with the garlic and herb laughing cow cheese and this pinot grigio infused salami. It was so awesome I bought everything on the spot. I highly recommend! And the flats are fairly low carb, 18 grams for 3, if you are watching carbs!

    In scrambled eggs! Spread it on apple slices. Put it on a toasted bagel or english muffin with tomato slices.

    I posted this in another thread about Laughing Cow, but the same applies; pop it inside large mushrooms and sprinkle some herbs and Parmesan on top. Then bake. Delicious. <3

    I spread on toast and eat with eggs
    spread on crackers
    in place of mayo on a sandwich
    somewhere I found a recipe for alfredo sauce using LC
    Mix with spaghetti squash

    I like the potato idea someone else said!

    I spread it on ham slices, and then roll them up and cut them up in salad. SO GOOD, can't even believe it!

    "Take 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese and 1 wedge laughing cow swiss cheese and mix in 1 cup cooked quinoa when it's still hot and you have a nice mac and cheese substitute" - Somebody in another thread.

    I am going to try this asap. At our house the plain ones go on sandwiches instead of mayonnaise, the chipotle ones get mixed with reduced calorie mozzarella and go in burritos instead of fattier cheeses, the sundried tomato ones get mixed into hot pasta instead of alfredo sauce or lots of parmesan, and the french onion ones get fought over for every conceivable use from crackers to toast to spread on warm flat bread to be so delicious it would make the angels weep.

    edit: This is truly the greatest of threads. Keep telling us what you do with those delicious cheesy wedges, please!

    My favorites are:

    'Light Garlic & Herb' spread on halved cucumbers

    'Swiss' melted with Shirataki noodles, broccoli & cubed chicken (makes for low-cal version of mac & cheese!)

    and simply broccoli and cheese, which you can do with any flavor!

    Use a vegetable peeler to make noodle-like slices of zucchini. Cook the zucchini in a skillet with about 1/3 cup of chicken broth. After a few minutes, add a wedge or two of Laughing Cow cheese and cook until the cheese is melted into a thick sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    I love to toast a pita in the oven with light olive oil when you take it out put laughing cow cheese on it and top with a veggie omelet in the morning for breakfast :-) It is also great on celery.
