A perfect recipe for using up any leftover cheese.

Soft cheese such as Brie, Camembert, Gorgonzola and feta, is made from milk and comes in a wide range of flavours. It’s a great addition to many meals and is also enjoyed on its own, often eaten with fruit. Cheese contains vitamins and calcium which the body needs to stay healthy, however, it can also be high in saturated fats so eating cheese in moderation is recommended.
Cheese like Brie, Camembert and Feta should be well wrapped and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Cream cheese and Ricotta should be stored in their original container and sealed closed.
Freezing soft cheese is not recommended as it's likely it will make them watery.
Soft cheese doesn’t freeze well but it can be added to savoury sauces. Try making a pasta sauce with your soft cheese, and then freeze it for another day.
Leftover cream cheese can be used to enrich a frittata, omelette or mashed potato. Alternatively, try making a ‘cheats’ cheesecake by mixing it with double cream and orange zest, then pour over crushed gingernut biscuits, leave to set in the fridge and drizzle it with jam.
