What do you with your Laughing Cows?

[LittleKitten]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if I could have your thoughts on laughing cows? I'm back on the SW diet again and use the laughing cow lights as my hexa but I always end up just unwrapping them and eating them straight from the packet when I'm sure there must be something more interesting I can do with them.

I have, in the past, (occasionally) used them to make cheese stuffed meatballs with extra lean mince which are nice but a bit of a faff.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Use them as a substitute for butter when making sandwiches / toast, mash them into potatoes to make them "creamier", stuff a chicken breast with them and wrap in bacon, make melt in the middle burgers (similar to your meatballs), use them as the white / cheesy layer of lasagne...there are loads of uses for them!!

They are nice in a chicken breast wrapped in bacon....i like wrapping ham aroud them for a snack...they are nice in pasta n sauce to make them creamier...and I love them on toast....i always use them instead of butter in a sarnie...and nice in a jacket potato too

Didn't mean to look like I was repeating you we must have answered the same time lol

Ohhh I like the idea of using them as butter in sandwiches!

Thanks very much, lots of great ideas. I love a lasagne so that's a useful one although I imagine that being quite messy to make using cheese triangles! I might have a go at making myself a couple of mini individual lasagne's and using those as the white sauce!

Also liking the melt in the middle burgers - don't know why I didn't think of that considering I make the meatballs!

Wrapping ham round them sounds like a handy little snack for work!

As well as the suggestions above, which are fab, I spread them on crisp bread and have them with soup - lush! x

Do you melt them in to your soup?

You probably could float one on top like a cruton, but I tend to just dip them in and eat them with the soup, like you would bread and butter

To make the lasagne topping is dead easy! Just pop the triangle (or a couple of them) on top of the lasagne and spread it with a knife, not too messy really. I usually use Low Low cheese spread in a similar way

I am definitely going to try this at the weekend!
