Baked cheese in many ways

Cheese lovers will love this post. Today I bring you some delicious recipes made with cheese. For lunch, dinner or appetizers, they are perfect to prepare when you have guests at home or even to treat yourself.

As quick option , you can make a flash appetizer by melting the cheese in the Cheese Baker to serve it at the moment and dip bread or dip with some sticks or raw fruit.

But when you want to prepare a slightly more elaborate appetizer (and it is not that we are talking about making great adventures), we can aromatize the cheese using vegetables, garlic, flavored oils, spices, nuts... And also accompany the cheese with toasts of special breads, fruits or vegetables roasted to the grilled or grilled, toasted olive focaccia strips... The possibilities really are endless.

These recipes are made with Emile Henry's Cheese Baker , which offers us endless options for cooking cheese. It allows you to prepare baked cheese and serve it directly at the table to keep it warm.
