Best cheese recipes

Cheese is one of cooking's most versatile ingredients, bringing salt, tang, nuttiness, and richness to dishes from every corner of the table. Some recipes celebrate it at the center, like a bubbling bowl of broccoli cheddar soup or a crock of French onion soup crowned with melted Gruyère. Others use it as a finishing touch that ties a dish together, as in a sprinkle of feta over a Greek salad, a golden crust of Parmesan on chicken parmesan, or a fresh slice of mozzarella on pizza margherita. Baked, melted, grated, or whipped, cheese shapes comfort food and special occasions alike, from mac and cheese and enchiladas to a creamy cheesecake. For each of these dishes, you can find the ranking of the best-rated recipes across several websites.
