It goes great with crackers, maybe that's a bit generic for you though?
OH GOOOODD NOW I WANT SPICY CHEESE BECAUSE YAAAAY SPICY CHEESE!
I was thinking of that, actually. But I figured if I make a thread I can get a bunch of answers for more spicy cheese snacks of spicy cheesiness
It's an adventure
Hmm.
I've not tried this but maybe you could melt the spicy cheese with bacon or something and make a toastie?

That sounds delicious actually
Crackers really are the only real answer.
This made me laugh for one reason: my wife tried to order pepper jack cheese at an establishment that didn't have it. When they told her that they didn't have it, she followed up with "Oh. Okay, but do you have spicy cheese?"
I like spicy cheese.
It does! I'm impressed that I came up with such a plausible suggestionOriginally Posted by Pumpkin
I'll have to try it out myself some time.
I don't have cheese and crackers often enough.
I have it at Christmas erry year, it's tradition.
I need to do it more often, though. My favourite is a wee digestive with some garlic & herb cream cheese.
I was actually about to suggest that you make your cracker snacks, but use the spicy cheese instead of the regular stuff.
We don't have tomatoes for cracker snacks
Cracker snacks. Without the tomatoes.
BUT THEN IT'S NOT CRACKER SNACKS
Is it a snack? Yes.
Does it have crackers in it? Yes.
What type of cheese is it exactly? Is it a type of jack cheese?
Sprinkle it on a baked potato or make mashed potatoes with it.
My other thought was to make buffalo chicken dip with it: Get some pre-cooked chicken (for the love of god do not buy canned. Buy the Tyson brand precooked stuff if you can find it. The Southwestern flavor works very well), an 8 oz block (or even 2 blocks) of cream cheese, frank's hot sauce (it must be Frank's brand), and a small bottle of ranch dressing...
Let the cream cheese come to room temp and spread it out in the bottom of a pan.
In a skillet, melt some butter and add the chicken and the hot sauce (to taste). You're gonna warm up the chicken.. Shred it with two forks while you warm it up and get it all mixed together. Alternatively, you can try and pre-shred the chicken before you add it to the skillet and save some trouble.
Drizzle a bit of ranch over the cream cheese, and layer on the chicken. Drizzle on a bit more ranch and then some more of the hot sauce.
Sprinkle on the spicy cheese and bake until it's melted and the cheese is slightly browned.
Use tortilla chips for dipping!
I'm sure you could also do a basic cheese deep with it too... Just make a roux, whisk in some milk, then add the cheese and whisk that together over low heat. If you want it more Mexican style, add a bit of cumin and maybe onion & garlic powder!
EDIT: Obviously you'll need to grate the cheese for either of these options.
EDIT 2: Also you can easily do grilled cheese with it or quesadillas of some sort.
