Dovedale from the hills of Derbyshire, England is a Protected Designation of Origin cheese with a unique flavor and texture. Whether served in slices as part of an appetizer or melted over dishes for a rich, creamy finish, Dovedale can add a unique and delicious flavor to any recipe. Here are five dishes that make Dovedale the star of the show:
1. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions: Thinly sliced Dovedale cheese is melted between two slices of hearty bread, with caramelized onions adding a sweet and savory kick.
2. Baked Macaroni and Cheese: Elbow macaroni is tossed with a creamy sauce made from Dovedale cheese and topped with breadcrumbs for an irresistibly rich bake.
3. Fondue: Dovedale melted with white wine, garlic and a hint of nutmeg becomes an indulgent dip for crusty bread cubes, blanched vegetables and boiled potatoes.
4. Mushroom Risotto: Slivers of Dovedale are melted into a rich mushroom risotto that is finished with butter, Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
5. Potato Gratin: Layer thinly sliced potatoes, butter and Dovedale in a baking dish and bake until golden brown. Serve this comforting gratin with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
