How to:

Store cheese

Store cheese in your refrigerator, which approximates the temperature of aging rooms. Keep it wrapped tightly in plastic, away from air (which helps mold grow on cheese).

If you get a little mould on the outside, just cut it off. The English say that if mould won't eat your Cheddar it can't taste very good!

Most ripened or aged cheese is low in moisture content and can be frozen without drastic flavour and texture changes. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours or more.

If frozen for several months, the cheese may dry out somewhat and become crumbly when thawed.

Recipe by: Abigail Donnelly
Serves: 8
Category: Vegetarian / Easy / Great value / Quick
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes
Ingredients:
2 large baguettes, sliced into 3 lengthways
2 T olive oil, for drizzling
3 ripe avocados, peeled, stoned and halved
3 T fresh parsley, roughly chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 x 280 block six-months-matured
farmhouse Cheddar
1 x 400 g jar mild pickled onions, halved
2 x 75 g packets salted potato stick crisps
Cooking instructions:

Preheat the oven to 200ºC.

Place the sliced baguette on baking trays and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes, or until crisp and golden.

Add the avocado halves to a large bowl and mash with the fresh parsley, lemon juice and seasoning.

Spread a generous layer of smashed avocado onto the lower layer of each baguette and top with the next slice of baguette.

Run a vegetable peeler along the side of the block of Cheddar to create thin slivers of cheese.

Add a good amount to the next layer of each baguette and top with the picked onion.

Finally, top with salted potato stick crisps and the last slices of crispy baguette.

Cook’s tips: Serve with a ramekin of chunky chutney for dipping. Or toss together a few crisp greens with a sweet mustard vinaigrette and serve alongside your indulgent cheese-and-onion sandwich.
