Stilton and Cranberry Toastie

Does anyone ever remember to get the cranberry sauce out on Christmas Day? Not to worry though, it goes brilliantly with a hunk of creamy stilton or a few slices of brie in a toasted sandwich. Pop out to get a fresh baguette or stock up on part-baked loaves before Christmas so you’re all set once the craving for a cheesy cranberry toastie arrives.

Cheeseboard Souffle

Stilton, brie and cheddar is the classic combination for this timeless classic but really any varieties of cheese you have lying around after Christmas will work just as well. You’ll need unsalted butter, breadcrumbs, flour, milk, eggs, herbs and seasoning and your cheeses of choice. Just don’t be tempted to open the oven door before the soufflés are ready in case they flop!

Cheese and Onion Tart

Another teatime classic, a cheese and onion tart is a brilliantly simple dish, perfect for those days after Christmas when you just can’t manage another rich meal. Whip up the tart using onions, egg, double cream, pre-rolled pastry and whichever combination of leftover cheeses takes your fancy and enjoy with a crisp side salad.
