Baked brie with fennel pollen and burnt honey nuts

Ben Dearnley (main)

Gooey, creamy and oh-so-delicious. Whether it’s shaved over pasta, layered and melted in a dinner bake, or devoured on its own, cheese turns ordinary recipes into extraordinary dishes.

Our collection of luscious cheese recipes features show-stopping dishes, including our baked brie with fennel pollen and burnt honey nuts, Embla’s cheddar gnocchi with crushed tomato and olive oil, a classic cacio e pepe recipe and a mixed mushroom and brie tart.

For fast and simple weeknight dinners, try our prosciutto-wrapped chicken with a fig and goat’s cheese stuffing, or our cauliflower take on a comfort food classic: macaroni and cheese. While our burrata with herb oil and cucumber and Raclette with smoked bacon and fine herb salad recipes make for wonderfully cheesy side dishes. Planning a dinner party? Try our four-cheese and sopressa pizza with chilli that conveinently only takes 30 minutes to make.

Looking for a weekend cooking challenge? We also have a simple cheese making guide for fior di latte, a delicious stretched-curd cheese to make at home.

These are our very best cheese recipes.
