It freezes but the structure might be slightly altered after thawing. Throw a small bit in the freezer and thaw in 2 days to check
I love almost any vegetable with Stilton. Easiest way: cook vegetable of choice, ditch the water when done, put back on low heat, add stilton and wait until it's melted. Even better: fry some bacon cubes and add to the vegetables and stilton. Or fry an onion to go with the vegetable/stilton/bacon mix.

Another stilton recipe I like very much is stealing a piece from the fridge whenever I'm near.

May I have your broccoli and stilton soup recipe?

Try celery, apple and stilton soup. Can't comment about freezing the cheeese, we never keep it long enough!

How about making a cheese sauce by heating double cream to just below boiling, pull off the heat and stir in a handful of any crumbled cheese (Stilton yum) and stir until melted. Really lovely sauce with veg or anything really add couldnt be easier. Mind you a wheel is a lot of cheese. Maybe have a cheese and wine party.

Try celery, apple and stilton soup.

This sounds so weird I want to try it! How do you make it?

@carty, there's no need to freeze stilton, it keeps if you turn it regularly. Keep it somewhere cold, not in the fridge and turn it every few days

For how long? Frozen it will keep for at least half a year or longer.

do you keep it wrapped ?

mmm cheese
Stilton is lovely in a cauliflower cheese, or broccoli cheese
Stuffed mushrooms (I use a nut flour, lots of cheese and herbs/garlic)
Egg muffins (mix eggs & chopped veg/meat/cheese and pour into metal cupcake tin & bake in oven)
spirallised courgettes with stilton, mushroom & walnuts is delicious.

We used to keep Stilton in the butcher shop fridge, most of the Stilton available here is refrigerated as there would be melted fat etc every where.

I do not feel like paying $80.00 a kg to put in soup though.

@carty, I kept mine wrapped in greaseproof paper, tinfoil is no good

• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 head celery, chopped
• 1 leek, chopped
• 1 apple, peeled and chopped
• 500ml (2 cups) vegetable stock
• 100ml (⅓ cup) milk
• 75g (½ cup) stilton or blue cheese
• salt and pepper

Cook onion & garlic in a little oil on low heat until soft.
Add the celery, apple and veg stock and simmer until soft.
Add the milk and cheese and puree with a hand blender.
Job done!
I'm going to make some tomorrow as we need to use up our stored apples and the celery in the garden won't last much longer. Also got plenty leeks and the last of the Xmas blue stilton.

1 head celery

Thanks! Foreigner here, so not completely sure: This is a head celery, right?

 

[miahara]

Yes that's a celery head. @Antje77

As well as all of the above, you could crumble sme through a salad. Do a tray bake of veg, with some decent sausages or chicken drummers or wings, then towards the end, princklesome dollops and bake a little longer.

Cut thin slices then grill on parchment paper or silicone paper. Turn after a moment or two, when it bubbles and repeat. Leave to cool and it should become like intensely cheesey crisps.

Your wheel of Stilton should me a contribution to your desired weight gain.
