Delicious Recipes Featuring Aged Gouda

A nice piece of aged Gouda can be a delicious addition to most meals or even your favorite snack. This semi-hard cow’s milk cheese is typically aged for six to nine months to be considered “aged” Gouda. If you don’t want to simply eat your Gouda with crackers or bread, then try one of these yummy recipes. You can also use them as inspiration to let your creativity flow in the kitchen and produce your own unique dish.

Sauteed Asparagus And Aged Gouda

If you are looking to add your aged Gouda to a side dish, then consider asparagus. Simply saute some asparagus spears, seasoning them using salt and pepper. After moving the sauteed asparagus to a serving dish or plate, sprinkle some aged Gouda on top to finish the dish.

Aged Gouda And Caesar Salad

A Caesar salad doesn’t have to be the traditional one featuring just romaine lettuce, croutons, and some Parmesan cheese. Swap out the Parmesan for aged Gouda and add chicken breast and cooked dry rotini pasta for a unique take on this classic salad.

Baked Potato With Aged Gouda

When it comes to baked potatoes, everyone has their unique preferences, but melted cheese always goes well on top. You can either get creative and add aged Gouda along with your favorite toppings or try a tandoori chicken baked potato featuring this cheese. Mix together tandoori spice mix, plain yogurt, and shredded chicken. Put this on your potato with some shredded Gouda and a bit of cilantro and you’re ready for a treat.

Gouda Apple Mustard Tarts

Aged Gouda is versatile enough to work for a dessert dish as well. Mix a bit of mustard and butter together then smear it on sourdough bread slices. Take a thinly sliced Pink Lady apple and put it on the bread, topping with lots of Gouda. Bake this until the cheese melts then put the dish on the broiler setting for an extra minute. Add black pepper and enjoy.

Pineapple And Gouda Upside Down Cake

For further proof that aged Gouda is the perfect ingredient for your favorite dessert, try this pineapple and Gouda cake. Start by layering a cake pan with pineapple slices combined with brown sugar, butter, and pineapple juice. Then mix a normal cake, adding a bit of pineapple juice and some finely shredded aged Gouda at the end. Pour the mixture on top of the pineapples in the cake pan, bake your dish, and serve.
