Today's guest ingredient: pesto
Warning: The following account describes some distressing scenes.
There I stood in my kitchen. Gochujang Paste jar, empty. So I looked in the cupboard and saw I had about eight 45g pots of Sacla pesto. I thought I would change things up today and use wholemeal pittas breads. So there I stood. Pittas, pesto and 50g(ish) of M&S extra mature 30% reduced fat cheese (the only reduced fat cheese I have ever had which tastes identical to full fat cheese IMO).
I spread the pesto on the lightly toasted pitta and grated the cheese. There it was. The big mistake which would take this endeavour from culinary masterpiece to utter disaster. As I spread the grated cheese around on the pittas the true horror of my mistake was soon revealed. Greated cheese, in the quantity I had remaining did not perfectly cover the pesto. What stared back at me was a yellow and green monster abomination. Don't worry, I told myself, the cheese will melt and it will cover the pesto. It did melt but it still came out looking like Norwich's hideous 1992 home shirt.
Lesson learnt: Only ever use those pre-cut slices of cheese when using pesto. Make sure they overlap and that the slices are thick.
Thank you. |  |

Mix the pesto with the grated cheese and then apply to the bread product. |  | | |

Pesto cheese on toast is so good.
As you say, you need the whole bread and pesto covered though. Mozzerella is my choice with Pesto. Weak cheese I know, but lovely! |  | | |

The police deserve to be called for the horror of wholemeal pitta bread. Why not go the distance and peel the bottom off the budgie’s cage?
Low fat cheese? Oh dear. That or chewing on the bicycle’s inner tube I guess.
The concept of pesto and cheese is fine. Sort of thing you have on pasta with proper cheese, so the concept works. |  | | |

You're destroying it with your mouth so you win, cheese choice excepted.
I've read worse food chronicles on this site, some NSF any environment. | | | |

I went to the trouble of naming the cheese because it is the only one I have ever had which tastes like normal full fat cheddar.
Some of you are so ungrateful for my efforts. | |

I mean, I hate cheese and I mean hate it. I don't use that word lightly either.
But to see you go for 30% less fat cheese, I mean, what is the actual point?
You've gone down in my estimations J2. [TUT] |  |

You did well, but the ship was doomed with the wholemeal pitta bread.
In the spirit of exploration, I’d be prepared to try the M&S cheese [Post edited 10 Dec 16:37]

I’m going to the M&S over the water tomorrow just to get this. If I’m disappointed you are in for an ear bashing. |  |

Was a cheese on toast lunch here too...extra mature cheddar on 2 seeded slices; out of the grill, and on the plate - a spoon of pickle on one, spoon of mango chutney on the other, and accompanied with a British Braeburn on the side. Job done  |  |

You can get normal cheddar, 30% less fat, 50% less fat and almost fat free cheese.
30% reduced fat still has 70% of the fat. That is 24g instead of 34g per 100g. When it's melted I really don't believe anyone would be able to tell the difference (as long as it's good quality cheese). Therefore it seems a no brainer to me to cut some saturated fat out (I know there are some keto people on here, I don't want a debate on saturated fat).
I refuse to be judged by some cheese dodging heathen. | |

Hate cheese? In the good ole days the faggots would be piled up around the stake ready for you for such heresy. | | | |
