Typical breakfast fare includes bagels, lox, cream cheese, maybe a few quiches and maybe a baked ziti or pasta salad. Sometimes you want to try something new, but it has to be easy and something you can make ahead. So I got together with The Cheese Guy and came up with a few new recipes for you.
The Cheese Guy, also known as Brent Delman, happens to be a neighbor of mine and I love his enthusiasm for all things cheese. I recently was able to visit his cheese cave, where he has wheels of cheese shipped in from Italy aging to his exacting standards. It was quite a site to see (and yes, I got to taste as well). The Cheese Guy is known around the world for high-end, small batch, artisanal, kosher cheeses – with many organic and low-fat varieties available.
His products range from local cheddars and jacks to imported Italian specialties. He shared his new line of spicy cheeses, Jalapeno, Habanero and Chipotle. Even though spicy is not typically on a break fast menu, my Habanero Cheesy Grits and Chiptole Cheese Stuffed Fish are spice-tacular!
Pecorino Baked Penne
For break fast, I am focusing on The Cheese Guy’s exclusive line of Italian cheeses. He recently got a shipment of Pecorino Sardo from Italy that he is aging in Westchester County, New York, so he is calling it the Saw Mill River Pecorino. It is younger than his Pecorino Romano so it is quite a bit softer, but it still has the familiar nutty flavor I love. It melts well and I used it to make this Penne Pecorino Pasta that would be a perfect side that you can prepare the day before and reheat just before serving. I topped it with a little grated Pecorino Romano – just for the fun of trying two Pecorinos in one dish.

When I looked at The Cheese Guy’s Asiago cheese, I adapted my regular “no-knead” bread recipe and turned it into the most unbelievable Asiago bread. Filled with gooey cheese, tons of flavor and really perfect. Like a grilled cheese baked inside a loaf of bread, it would be delicious with sliced tomatoes or dipped in a tomato soup, or just eaten on its own, lightly toasted so you can taste a little melt in your mouth.

I love cheese anytime during the day.
I love cheese. My favorite is bleu cheese.
Sharp cheddar is my favorite
Gotta say my favorite cheese is a medium soft Havarti on pita bread. Best ever health snack
i love muenster cheese, but all cheeses are great, especially according to my new son-in-law. hope i win.
My favorite cheese is brie, though it’s usually out of my price range.
I love cheese,and I love the idea of cheese bread!
My fave is Cheddar – I’m from the midwest.
My question: Which cheeses freeze well (for grating)?
I love goat cheese, Brie, any cheddar.
we love extra shard cheddar cheese
I don’t discriminate–I love all cheese equally. But now that I have Celiac, I need to double check all cheeses for gluten. Please tell me that yours are gluten-free?!
As if I could pick one favorite cheese? Impossible. Swiss, fresh mozzarella, gouda…the possibilities are endless.
I love Fresh Mozzerella.
Thanks for the chance.

We have a recipe here for cheese fondue you can try and I have a plan to work on some new ones this Winter – http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/fondue/
I love all things cheese! I really enjoy different flavored cheeses and a wide variety of kinds. I would love to try some of the cheese guy’s cheese!
I love cheese, it would be hard to pick a favorite. However, I do really enjoy asiago.
My favorite cheese is mozzarella cheese because that’s the best one for Blood Type A diet. It’s good for caprese, sandwiches, pizza, omelettes, pasta salad, and a healthy snack.
Thanks for this comment, I will make sure The Cheese Guy sees it, we have to give this kind of feedback as much as we can.
LOVE PARMESAN, GREAT SPRINKLED IN SALD, MIXED WITH PASTA SAUCE, OR IN LASAGNA.
That penne looks so good!
I love Montery Jack, Havarty and freshly grated parmesan. I don’t know why people settle for the pre- grated variety when it is so easy to grate cheese and the difference is so huge. Thank goodness the cheese guy is taking such good care of us. we appreciate you!!!
My favorite cheese is a sharp, aged provolone.
Parmesan! Favorite is to toss cooked and stringed spaghetti squash in a baking dish with olive oil, raisins, and a bunch of parmesan cheese. Bake until melted.
I love blue cheese. Especially in soups and salads
How can I possibly pick a favorite cheese? There are way too many yummy choices out there! Swiss is def a fave, though. And SHARP cheddar – yum! So hard to find a good variety of hard cheeses that are kosher. Any suggestions? Is there a place online to buy kosher cheese? Thank you for loving cheese (maybe) as much as I do!
Can you please recommend some cheeses and recipes to make fondues: Beer cheese and a Traditional Swiss /Emmenthaler.
Amazing kosher cheeses. How do you source them?
Why can’t we get these great cheeses on the West Coast?
I love brie. I’d ask the cheese guy how to pick the best one.
you name it i love it..parmiiano reggiano use all the time. always looking for a low fat swiss.
We love your cheese. Can you please sell your products in Chicago?
Love cheese! Would probably have to go with cheddar as well. mmmm
The Aged Havarti looks good
I have not tasted many cheeses but am interested in low fat ones. Can you tell me what types of cheeses are lower fat cheeses?
I LOVE THE ASIAGO
I adore extra sharp cheddar cheese!
My favorite is parmigiano reggiano becuase it just adds such great flavor.
My favorite cheese is Cheddar!
Blue cheese crumbles.
What goes well with chrimp?
I love all kinds of cheese, would like to try his reduced fat swiss.
cheddar
My favorite is parmigiano reggiano because it is so versatile.
This sounds like a great giveaway!
Great giveaway. We love cheese.
These cheese look amazing, what a great variety! Great resource!
i love brie and i would like to know the best way to store cheese..what type of container or wrap?
what is the difference between sharp cut and regular cut cheese.
My favorite cheese is jack and manchego because they both melt beautifully and make rich, creamy sauces. Thanks for the giveaway!
Looks yum!
I really love cheese so it is hard to pick a favorite but two that are definitely at the top are pecorino romano and a really creamy blue cheese. A herbed goat cheese would be a strong choice as well.
A question for the “cheese guy” is: Is pecorino made with rennet from sheep since it is made with sheeps milk?
