Fromage fort is the ultimate way of using leftover cheese. My father used to combine pieces of Camembert, Brie, Swiss, blue cheese and goat cheese together with my mother’s leek broth, some white wine and crushed garlic. These ingredients marinated in a cold cellar for a week to a week-and-a-half (he liked it really strong). Now my wife, Gloria, makes a milder version in a food processor that takes only seconds. It is delicious with crackers or melted onto toasts. It also freezes well.

This is a fantastic way to use those left bits of cheese! We make this perodically and the cheeses have ranged from gruyere to edam to manchego. Every incantation is different and wonderful. I can't wait to accumulate those bits of cheese to make more! 

I always add lots of garlic, salt, and white wine. I have served it heated in the broiler as a fondue and on toasts.

I have made this recipe three times now and loved it every time.  It's so easy and always a crowd pleaser.  For holidays try throwing some dried cranberries in.  Softer cheeses work best.
