Confession of a Cheesaholic…
by girlinafoodfrenzy
Yes that’s right folks, today we have the confession of a Cheesaholic
You know that skit with the Monty Python fellas, The Cheese Skit, Gloucester, Brie, Camembert, Stinking Bishop, Cheddar, Edam, Gorgonzola, Gruyere…well you get the picture, it’s a comedy sketch in which they attempt to name every single make of cheese in the world. Sometimes I am that gal!
Fact: my sweetheart once told me my handbag smelt like stinky socks…he just couldn’t appreciate the washed rind cheese I had bought that night for supper…
I often pass by the counter in the local deli or supermarket and immediately scour the shelves for my favourite Brie. Sometimes I bribe myself through those toughest of work days with the promise of some stinky fromage!
Today though, is the day I bribe all of you with the promise of a rich, buttery biscuit, filled to the brim with delicious savoury tones of cheddar and the like. I know, there have been other cheese biccies in the past here on the Giaff blog (link below at the bottom of the page…)
…but occasionally I want a re run and sometimes I want to refine and perfect something that already tasted good and hopefully make it taste even better!
Agree? then it’s time for some Cheese & Sesame Sables but be warned…one is not enough!
Like this, you might want to see:
Parmesan, thyme & chilli biscuits
Ricotta Fritters, two ways
Filo pastry rolls with Silverbeet & pinenuts
Cheeeeeeese! Cheesy biscuits are ridiculously moreish and I can understand your cheese love. I occasionally consider the idea of being vegan but cheese is possibly the one thing I would really struggle to give up (and eggs, and milk….). Your sables look very yummy indeed!
Thank you Lorna, the ultimate compliment from the ultimate sweet tooth
cheesey biccies are the best, they used to be an ultimate favourite when I was a little tot at David Jones food hall.
i like it
Thanks Alberto!
Sumptuous! Moreish! And all those things. Cheese <3.
Likewise, sometimes I’m craving a little nibble and a biscuit or two puts a smile back on the dial. These ones have been requested by work pals so I’ll be practicing this recipe a lot next week! Lol,
Oh dear. I bet those things just melt on the tongue…!
It’s almost cruel to show them to you, I don’t know if you can stomach dried Parmesan but with some rice flour to make a lighter shortbread (it could possibly be) a nice alternative to the real thing…almost…
Parmesan is one I can handle, as it’s a hard cheese. I might just have to experiment!
Fabulous. That’s excellent as you don’t have to give up entirely on a favourite love just yet
Cheese is the one thing I can cheat on without much trouble!
Cheated with a breakfast burrito this morning that was delicious, but hurts so much now….
Breakfast burrito! Good for you, I know how much you used to love those. As for the tummy ache though, hope it passes soon.
Back to a green smoothie breakfast today, and feeling great!
Sounds incredible virtuous, just what the doctor ordered!
Trying to have them 5 days a week. A good excuse to use the Vitamix!
Mmmm cheesy cheesy delicious goodness my friend a healthy obsession
Cheers

Hi Uru, a light and moreish biccie that melts on the tongue, just for cheeseaholics!
I will have to try these! Mmmmmh cheeeeese!
Hi Carine, pleased to hear there are fellow cheesaholics out there besides me!
I’ve got a queue of cheese crackers to make….
I was swimming in Mont D’or last night. Friend brought it when she flew through Charles De Gaulle. lllloooovvvveeee cheese.
Sounds incredible Wendy, I can’t wait to see the other variations you’ll be trialling too. No shortage of flavours and potential. A Cheesaholic in France, what a wonderful story to live in real life!
Mmm…I love savoury cookies/biscuits and these sound delightful! I can imagine how cheesy, crumbly and buttery these are. Perfect for the upcoming holidays!
Thank you
I agree there should be a repertoire of party snacks on shuffle and cheese biccies are definitely on mine. I love those gourgères too and a bit if cheesy puffiness. Ah the silly season is nearly here!
This I want ot bake right now. Love every element in these cookies/biccies
Thank you! I’m glad they appeal because I love these types of biccies and just want to share the love!
Love the fact that you motivate yourself through a tough day by looking forward to cheese.
Lol, perhaps it’s a new type of therapy I could administer to all those folk in need…kind of like therapy or emergency chocolate!
I too am a self professed cheesaholic! I love love love the stuff, the stinkier the better. I am salivating looking at the sables, so perfect with the sesame seeds too. Reminds me of a dish my grandmother used to make, they were little cheddar and feta filled hand pies topped with sesame seeds! I might have to try this one soon!
Wow! I’m loving the description of your grandmothers hand held pies too! The sesame adds texture and simply makes the dough easier to handle. These went in a flash, my good friend devoured a handful in a flash
dangerously addictive!
I bet, I would have too! Lucky friend!
Lol, still getting requests too!
I hear ya on those after work/college cheese treats.. waiting until your home and devouring what should actually last for week. These look great and hassle free so thanks!
Welcome back! The treats went straight to work with me so there were a few happy faces around. Cheese & biscuits, two of my favourite things, the combination of both is totally magical!
I love that you put cheese in your purse. Awesome.
I’m that kinda girl…
You & me both! Cheese, cheese & more cheese is my idea of a 3 course meal. I like it soft, I like it hard [cheese, peoples!] – anything and everything cheesy is fab. These little morsels look sooooo good. I bought a teeny little goats cheese today from a farmer’s market and can’t wait to inhale, I mean, slowly savour the taste of it…
Inhale it, inhale it! I’m a cheese lover and connoisseur, cheese snob and cheese slob. The long and short, I love it. A Biccie baked with the cheese, is a short cut into my gob
Looks very savoury, I love it. I love the smell of cheese, mmmmm
Likewise, it’s one of my favourite indulgences, ever!
