2037. Summer Platter with Whipped Basil Ricotta
I would be content in a world that serves all its meals and snacks in the form of grazing platters. It does seem as though summer is especially prone to serving food in that manner, and this whipped basil ricotta platter is one such example of endless customizations.

2029. Haloomi Zaatar Scarpaccia

Scarpaccia is a vegetable-laden and often cheesy Italian flatbread that was born out of necessity to use up leftovers (don't those just make up the best foods anyway?).

1943. Tea Time Filo Cheese Rolls
A warm freshly baked batch of these filo cheese rolls with a side of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, paired with endless flowing cups of mint tea is one of life's pleasures.

1926. Comte Cheese Crackers
Snacking is a multi-cultural, and a multi-billion dollar industry. While store-bought goodies are often designed to make you addicted to the product, I can safely say that this homemade savory cheese cracker is among the best I've tasted and is just as addictive (without any of the chemical and synthetic nasties).

1898. Haloomi Arayees
These haloomi arayees are as simple and delicious as could be. Switching from Lebanese flatbread to Egyptian bran flatbread really has made all the difference for me.

1843. Mini Pumpkin Cheese Fondue
This is a fun and delicious idea for small pumpkins and leftover scraps of cheese: serving one or two people, the cheese fondue is put in a baked small pumpkin, which is edible as well.

1842. Raclette
Raclette is the name of a Swiss and French Alps cheese, but it is also the name of a dish on how it is consumed. I was gifted a two-person raclette candle-lit grill, and allowed myself the indulgence of a raclette dinner for two.

1813. Quick Feta Filo Parcel
I'm all about quick and easy recipes of late. A long list of ingredients or a complicated method have me go a 180 degree heel-spin. So when I saw this non-recipe recipe in both savory (feta cheese) and sweet (walnut cinnamon, coming soon) versions, I was immediately on board.

Great for breakfast or a light meal, these zaatar-crusted pan-fried haloomi slices can top an avocado toast for an even better experience.

1610. Olive Cream Cheese Spread
This is a two-ingredient hack which I now always have on hand of breakfast or snacking. All you do is blend a drained jar of pitted olives to a paste, then whip in a black of cream cheese.

1595. Baked Gruyere Dip
In the cheese world, you have the Swiss fondue, which is a molten pot of multiple cheese varieties which you dip bread, cold cuts, or cornichons in, and you've got queso fundido, which is a Mexican pot of other varieties of molten cheese using tortilla chips as the carrying vehicle. This baked gruyere dip is neither.
