What other uses for Havarti Dill Cheese?

[Angelina]

I have a big block of this cheese in my refrigerator and I always seem to only use it on tuna sandwiches.

What other things can I make or use this cheese for?

Thank you!

It would taste great in a quiche! Pair it with shallots, tomato, zucchini - so many options.

I love grilled chicken topped with ortega chile, fill havarti, and sauteed mushrooms

I get a sandwich at a local restaurant that is sliced turkey, dill havarti and herbed mayo on a ciabatta roll. I'm not sure what's in the herbed mayo, but the whole thing is yummy. I had earlier this week and had to run out for dill havarti and ciabatta rolls to re-created it as best as I could.

Interesting to read all these recipes---I have never cooked with Dill Havarti at all as it is my favorite cheese just for grabbing a piece of with some crackers. Add a glass of cold V-8 and call it "lunch".

I used to stuff chicken breasts with it, roll them in crumbs and bake.

I sometimes use Dill Havarti with sauteed mushrooms and chopped pimento green olives for making omelettes. I top them with a dollop of sour cream and finish the top with a couple of whole pimento green olives; parsely on the side. Pretty popular in our house.

I would use it to make macaroni and cheese, since it melts to such a creamy consistency!

Thanks! I am going to definately try these!

Hmmm. with dill. Not sure this will work because I usually use plain Havarti, but I like it melted on a salami or corned beef sandwich with some whole grain or dijon mustard. You can use a kaiser roll, bagel, bialy, etc. I like to make open faced sandwiches and toast/broil them for a couple min in the toaster oven.

Could also make a cheese sub with Swiss, Gouda, Monterey Jack, etc. on a baguette with mayo, dijon, lettuce & tomato.

Frankly, because Havarti is a wonderful melting cheese it can be used as you would Fontina, Swiss, Gruyere, and the like...the dill flavor gives the dish another flavor component.
