I have loads of Swiss Cheese leftover...anyone got a good recipe

I made two reuben quiches for the holidays...but I have a lot of swiss cheese left over...any ideas?

I wouldn't have thought that at all. But it is.

(Not in a sandwich -- but perhaps on a cracker, with a small dab.)

I already posted this awhile back, but here it is again. In fact, I'm making this tonight, myself. It's delicious and always a hit.

Swiss Cheese & Cherry Spread

3 cups shredded Swiss cheese (12 oz)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup dried tart red cherries (can use the dried cran-cherries)
1/2 cup mayo
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions

Bring cheese and butter to room temp. Meanwhile, snip cherries and cover with boiling water and let stand 10 minutes. Drain well; pat cherries dry with paper towels and set aside.

Place cheese, butter, mayo and mustard in a food-processor bowl. Cover and process till combined. Stir in cherries and green onions; cover and refrigerate.

Serve with crackers or cocktail breads (I use rye or whole wheat)

Makes about 2 cups.

I think this sounds great!!!

The last few times I made it, I just bought the pre-shredded Kraft cheese. I think it's on the mild side. I really can't tell the difference in baby and aged, once it's been mixed with the other ingredients.

When we're doing a party, my husband thinks buying shredded is extravagant, he buys aged Swiss and shreds it with all his other shredding, cause that's the kind he uses in his "famous" beer cheese. That one includes sharp cheddar, dry mustard, garlic, worcheshire and beer. I don't think baby Swiss would hold it's own that recipe, but in the one I posted, with cherries, butter and mayo, it's a mild creamy spread, with a pleasant punch from the Dijon and green onions. Plus the green onion and cherry gives it a festive look.

It was created for leftover cheese. :9

I also like ham and cheese sandwiches with swiss.

Either could be just the swiss or you could add some ham to them.

I love swiss cheese made into a sauce for creamed spinach. You can then layer it in Filo Dough like lasagna.
