The other day I was thinking about how much I had loved Blue Cheese and Ritz crackers. So went to Trader Joe's and bought some of the cheese for my crackers. It was delicious. Don't know how I had forgotten about it for so long.

Does anyone else have a favorite cheese that they like to pair with something simple?

Re: FAVORITE CHEESE COMBO...

My daughter called me this afternoon and said she was eating ritz crackers with cream cheese and olives.  It made me want some so I got the crackers, cream cheese out and I only had one jar of olives and they were not open.  I had some capers already opened so I put some capers on it.  That too is good.

@Nonametoday . I love cream cheese and olive sandwiches. But it has to be on white bread.

@Flatbush   Blue cheese paired with steak. For crackers I like sharp Cheddar or smoked Gouda.

@Marp   

I put slices of sharp cheese on apple pie and pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.  Yum yum.

 

Blue cheese stuffed in dates and wrapped in crispy fried bacon. Pop in the microwave 15 seconds to calm the cheese a bit.

Pimentos + Cheese = Pimento Cheese.  My Charleston, SC born & bred husband makes it from scratch & I adore him for it!

@Flatbush I agree with you and others that Blue Cheese pairs with almost everything! I like it with figs, with butter, and your suggestion as well, and with all the suggestions by @candys mine . I also like a good Parmesan and pasta.

I got this cheese package from Sams.  The pieces are individually wrapped.  I opened the Pesto Jack and it was unbelieveable! 

I wish I could just get that one!  Love it with a Ritz or origonal triscuit.
