Asiago

[sapphorlando]

I've been given a hunk of aged Asiago. I've never used this cheese in cooking before, and don't know what to do with it. It's a bit strong to eat straight, I've discovered.

I'm looking for ideas and recommendations both for straight sampling and cooking. It's a fair amount (several ounces), so I can do both.

Thanks!

Asiago makes a great add-in to french onion soup and herb breads. It can also be incorporated into alfredo sauce.

I love it mixed into biscuit mix.

Use it as you would parmesan or romano cheese.

Shave a bit over your pasta!

I like asiago sprinkled on fried green tomatoes, or baked into artisan bread (or bagels).

But I would eat it straight, too.
