My friend is Philippine and got me this fancy looking cheese called Supreme Holland Baby Edam Cheese. It is rather dry so I tried melting some on a tortilla to see if it was better that way. It doesn't melt as easily as most cheeses do, and was rather rubbery when it did melt. I would like to try and make something with it as I went to the store my friend frequents and found out this wax covered ball off cheese cost almost $15.00, and I think he may ask how I liked it. I'd prefer to give an honest answer. Nothing to complicated as I cook for one. But there must be a use for this type cheese. I hate the idea of just throwing it out. Thank you

You can shred it into a salad, or eat it with cut up fruit and grapes or if you have any holiday parties left take it as an appetizer - serve with sliced pears and apples. Good Luck!

You need a cheese shaver. Run the shaver over the cheese and eat it with fruit, special crackers, by itself with wine. Here is a shaver picture.....there are many different types:

well that type of cheese is very popular in the Philippines
I think most people eat it as-is (with the wax off of course!), with fruit and crackers...
but you can use it in an omelet, in a bread, or in a souffle...I think that you have to us it 'in' something, rather than just melting it and eating it..
I would try it with eggs or in a bread..but that's just me :)
