Recipes with Cheddar cheese
6 recipes
There are 6 recipes here that use Cheddar cheese, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Egg and Cheese Toastie at 8 minutes; the longest, Cheese-Stuffed Tofu, takes 25. 5 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 4 are vegetarian. 6 have no chili at all, so they work for children.
Cheddar cheese turns up most often alongside Chicken egg, Milk, Butter and Margarine — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.

Low heat and patience. Eggs cooked slowly turn silky, not dry and pockmarked.

Sausage and Cheese Fried Rice

Egg and Cheese Toastie
Six minutes. The egg cooks in a hole cut in the bread, so both finish at the same moment.

Cheese-Stuffed Tofu
Slit the tofu rather than halving it. An intact pocket keeps the cheese inside while it fries.
