Too much cheese help

8 replies

Renamed · 18/09/2024 22:40

A chef friend has kindly given us quite a large piece of feta cheese and huge bag of veggie Parmesan flakes. There are only 2 of us! I know the feta won’t freeze, and we only have under fridge freezer drawers. I could make a lot of spanakopita and freeze that. Interested in any alternative suggestions?

Pack the feta in glass jars (cut it to fit) and cover with a salt brine or olive oil. It will keep for months in the fridge like that. And Parmesan keeps for months anyway.

As above with the feta.

Re the VEGGIE parmesan flakes, if you have a label, I would email the manufacturers asking them their recommended method of long term storage. I wouldn’t know what’s in it to suggest a solution.

I freeze feta all the time, not to eat plain but in cooked dishes like frittata or pasta.

I freeze everything. Never had any disasters yet. I will not waste food

I have frozen feta and it seemed ok, it was in a packet sealed up, but then I crumble it in salads anyway so it might not be as firm.

This is a lovely feta recipe - baked aubergine cheesecake https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/mar/06/aubergine-cheesecake-vegetarian-recipe-ottolenghi

feta is also really nice crumbled into pitta pockets with sliced courgettes, cooked with a bit of olive oil and oregano (can be done fast in an air fryer and will keep all week in the fridge) and mayo. It’s also nice crumbled on toasted ciabatta with roasted cherry tomatoes.
And this Anna Jones pasta recipe is delicious

Thanks so much all, have noted all of these, they sound delicious and will definitely try them (in the end I made tiropita. But future unexpected gifts of cheese are on the cards).
