So you've bought a wedge of brie and haven't finished it, and you have a bit of jack left from taco Tuesdays, you have a half a log of goat cheese remaining and there is just a little roquefort left over from that dinner party from last month, what do you do with all? You make a cheesy spread called fromage fort that's what you do.
This isn't a recipe as much as it is a solution to make scraps into something delicious. Take your left over bits of cheese, cutting off any unwanted mold spots you have on them, until you have about a pound of cheese remnants. Add to that 3 Tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup of white wine, a garlic clove, a pinch of herbs (today thyme) and a pinch of pepper flakes.
Chop up the cheeses into smaller pieces and place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor with the chopping blade and process the mixture until it is smooth.
Once smooth remove and place covered in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or better overnight so the flavors can meld together. Remember there are no set rules for the cheese ratio, just use what you got, it's all cheese and cheese is never undelicious.
You can use it as a dip, let it soften for a couple hours, it's an excellent filling for an omelette, or spread it on bread and toast it until is melty bubbly gooey goodness.
