Mouth-watering dishes from Shepherds Purse Cheeses

Whether you’re throwing a dinner party, feeding the family or simply looking for a quick and tasty bite to eat, Shepherds Purse Cheeses, Yorkshire’s finest blue cheese maker, has developed a range of mouth-watering recipe ideas that are sure to inspire you.

Having a dinner party? Treat your guests to Yorkshire Feta stuffed aubergine shells - they make a great starter or light main course. Yorkshire Feta, made with 100 per cent ewe’s milk has a crumbly texture with a fresh lemony flavour, plus it’s creamier than its European contemporaries and is the healthier cheese option for those on a low cholesterol diet.

For a really quick and yummy dish, mix Buffalo Blue cheese with mashed potatoes - finish off with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and place under the grill to brown. Buffalo Blue cheese is made from Water Buffalo milk which gives the cheese a wonderful soft, creamy texture and a tangy flavour.

Feeding the family but can’t decide what to make? Crumble Yorkshire Blue cheese liberally on to a dish of Tricolore Fusilli pasta with Mushrooms. Yorkshire Blue made with cow’s milk has won many awards for its soft creamy texture and unique buttery flavour with no sharp bite.

Feeling adventurous? Mrs Bells Blue Souffle makes the perfect savoury dish to start a meal.  Mrs Bells blue cheese is made with the finest quality ewe’s milk and has won numerous awards for its rich creamy texture and full blue favour that is without sharpness or acidity.

For a dish that looks complicated, but is in fact very simple, try Katy’s White Lavender and raisins soaked in sherry, wrapped in tenderised escallops of pork. Serve with new potatoes and a fresh green salad. Katy’s White Lavender is a creamy fresh cheese made with a delicate blend of ewe’s milk and the finest Yorkshire Lavender.

No time? Need a quick and tasty light snack to keep you going? Treat yourself to a Byland Blue Ciabatta Melt! Simply place a generous slice of Byland Blue onto the ciabatta and melt under the grill. Or, if it’s a quick and easy starter you’re after, just spruce it up with roasted peppers in oil and fresh basil leaves.

For a sumptuous and refreshing dessert, that will really make an impression, try Olde York Lemon Cheese Cake. Olde York is a fresh ewe’s milk cheese with a soft texture, just perfect for making a delicious cheese cake.
