FROMAGE FORT
The French cheese spread called fromage fort ("strong cheese") is a smooth, pungent amalgam of garlic, white wine, and any leftover cheeses you have in the refrigerator. Smear it on slices of baguette and run them under the broiler to have with drinks, or simply serve it with crackers.

Steps:
- Trim any hard, moldy, or unwanted rinds from cheeses. Grate hard cheeses, and cut soft ones into small pieces. Combine cheeses with wine and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve immediately or store in refrigerator up to 3 days. Let come to room temperature before serving.
FROMAGE FORT ( STRONG CHEESE)
This is a great way to use leftover bits of cheese. Use about 3-4 kinds of any variety (e.g. Cheddar, Parmesan, Provolone, Fontina, Brie, about anything), but use a combination that is not too salty. I was a little leary of how all the flavors would come together, but I loved it. I used mostly brie and manchego, with some cheddar and a small amount of feta. I started with the recommended amount of wine, but ended up adding more as the processor was running as mine was very thick and I wanted a consistency that was a bit thinner. This is a fun recipe, very adaptable, so just improvise to suit your own taste. Adapted from Alton Brown.

HASSELBACK POTATOES WITH FROMAGE FORT
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Lay a potato lengthwise between the handles of 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato thinly, using the chopsticks to stop you from slicing all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons Fromage Fort over top of each and bake until cheese is golden brown and bubbly, an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add cheese, garlic, wine and some salt and pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth.
