Fromage Fort image

The French cheese spread called fromage fort ("strong cheese") is a smooth, pungent amalgam of garlic, white wine, and any leftover cheeses you have in the refrigerator. Smear it on slices of baguette and run them under the broiler to have with drinks, or simply serve it with crackers.
