After having a gathering of friends I found myself with leftover sliced cheese. All kinds of cheese.. Swiss, Cheddar, etc. With the economy as it is there was no way I would just throw it away and there was also no way I could eat it all before it went bad. So what do you do with leftover cheese? I did 2 things. First I cut it up into small pieces. I measured out 1 1/2 cups and made pimiento cheese. I did this by mixing 1/2 of an 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 heaping tablespoons of chopped pimiento and pepper. The different cheeses gave it a great taste. This made a delicious spread. Second, I took what was left over, put it into a freezer bag and put it into the freezer to use with dishes I make that call for cheese. Frozen cheese, after thawing, won’t work very well for sandwiches but it works great in cooking. So the next time you’re stuck with leftover sliced cheese, give either or both of these suggestions a try.
