Heaven. I’m not sure how I feel about this though: [![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QejcCgNLylw/UBwONxebxTI/AAAAAAAAFPw/B8JsQv52Rf4/s1600/Chocolate+Chip+Cookie+Grilled+Cheese+04.jpg) ](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QejcCgNLylw/UBwONxebxTI/AAAAAAAAFPw/B8JsQv52Rf4/s1600/Chocolate+Chip+Cookie+Grilled+Cheese+04.jpg) ---

You guys make fun, but obviously you can’t take a wheel of cheese, a pinch of flour, and somehow bake it into bread. There is a limit somewhere. ---

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > I would blush to call it a “recipe.” Chop an onion and a couple of garlic cloves, a little bit of smoked ham, sauté in a spoonful of olive oil until the onion softens, add S&P and a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Chop a tomato or two plum tomatoes (I used two kumatoes, that brown tomato hybrid that tastes like a tomato even in February), add and let soften. Stir in half a cup of bulghur wheat. Half cup of dry white wine, and bring to a simmer. Dump a pound or two of clean mussels over, cover the pan, and let simmer for maybe 8 minutes, until they all open. Set the pan on the dining table next to a bowl for empty shells. Oh, yum. Thank you. I’ve never cooked with bulghur wheat because I didn’t know where to start. Now I do! ---

Bulghur makes a nice healthy whole-grain substitute for rice, to ladle a stew or gravy over. It cooks up FAST, though, more like couscous. Pour 3/4 of a cup into a cup of boiling salted water, cover, turn off the heat, and it’s tender and ready to serve in about five minutes. I put the last of the four cheese bread into the food processor and made enhanced bread crumbs that went into Italian meatballs tonight. Really, REALLY good meatballs…oh, yeah. ---

Toasted and buttered and cut into little fingers. Eat with chicken soup, 15-bean-and-ham soup, Italian wedding soup…basically any soup or stew that isn’t cheesy on its own. ---

Get some blackened or Chipotle smoked chicken or turkey, it will make excellent sandwiches. ---

You could cut it into bite size pieces and place it in the four spaces between your toes. Instant toe cheese and a nice readily available snack if you get peckish… ---

> [@alted315](#): > > spicy cheese bread at the farmers market while its still warm Exactly. I drive more than an hour each way a few times a year for it. Sometimes I don’t even buy any vegetables. Aaaaah, how long until summer? ---

I’ve baked and enjoyed the spicy cheese bread from Deborah Madison’s famous _Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone_ (1997). Calls for one cup of grated cheddar to 3 cups flour. The “spicy” part comes from 2 tsp of coarse black pepper, and one of crushed red chile flakes. ---

It appears to be about a 1:1 flour to cheese ratio, albeit with some other stuff. Looks like about 40% cheese. ---

You could make a cheese sandwich with it for the recursive nature of the thing. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-i-do-with-this-four-cheese-bread/712438.md?page=1)
