This is a perfect blend of nutty, creamy cheeses and apples, tucked into a wam tortilla. Golden brown and delicious!
On the weekends, Eric and I enjoy hanging out together. We spend our time running, reading, sharing coffee, and of course watching football this time of year. I shop for groceries on Sunday, and if we go after church Eric tags along. Depending on the mood we can do our shopping super fast, or yes, there are those times where he is less than happy about being at the grocery store.
But last Sunday’s shopping trip, changed my life. Okay, I may or may not be a little dramatic. But that’s the moment I laid eyes on the new Cabot cheeses. We threw one of each variety in our shopping cart.
When we arrived home I could barely get the groceries stored away before Eric had the Alpine Blend out on the cutting board. This cheese is nutty, creamy, and has a nice salty blend of parmesan. It’s an aged Italian-style cheese and doesn’t disappoint!
I sliced up some crisp apples to go with the cheese. Alpine cheese & apples are not only a yummy snacking duo, but they make a sweet and savory quesadilla too.
Go get some Cabot Alpine cheese and grab the skillet. You won’t want to miss this recipe.
