Tilsit Cheese is a semi-firm cow’s milk cheese from Germany and is a great addition to any savory dish. Here are five delicious dishes where Tilsit cheese takes center stage:
1. Tilsit Cheese Fondue – This classic Swiss dish calls for cubes of Tilsit cheese, white wine, garlic, and Kirschwasser to be melted together in a fondue pot. Serve it with cubed bread, boiled potatoes, and steamed vegetables for dipping.
2. Tilsit Cheese Toasties – Slice some Tilsit cheese and spread it on buttered toast. Grill until the cheese is warm and bubbly and serve with a side of pickles.
3. Tilsit Potato Gratin – Layer sliced potatoes, Tilsit cheese, onion, garlic, and cream in an ovenproof dish and bake until golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
4. Baked Tilsit Cheese Omelet – Beat eggs with cream, Tilsit cheese, onion, and parsley until smooth. Pour into a greased pan and bake until set. Serve hot or at room temperature.
5. Tilsit Cheese Pie – Roll out your favorite pastry dough and spread with a layer of mashed potatoes mixed with cubed Tilsit cheese. Top with a lattice of pastry strips and bake until golden brown. Serve warm with a side salad.
