Planning a lappi menu indicates towards creating savory dishes that taste sinfully good. Lappi is a semi-soft, semi-sweet cheese that slices easily and is exceptional for melting. It is made from partially skimmed cow's milk, which results in a cheese nearly identical to Swiss cheese. Here are some lappi menu ideas.

Lappi Cheese Toast

This dish makes a great snack or even appetizer. You can experiment with different kinds of breads, crostinis, slices of sour dough or just little pieces of foccacia can be used. The idea is toast the bread in the toaster oven until the cheese melts. You can vary the recipe by adding mushrooms or pieces of tomatoes as a garnish. This goes well with a ranch sauce or just eat by itself.

Pizzas

Since lappi cheese is great for melting, using it on pizzas is a great idea. You can blend it with some mozzarella and make a white pizza. The flavor of this cheese will be extremely rich and delicious. If you do enjoy the tomato sauce in a pizza then make some margarita pizzas with basil, tomato sauce, along with the lappi and mozzarella.

Fondue 

It would be a crime not to make some cheese fondue with lappi. This cheese will melt beautifully and blend really well with the other cheese you pick to make the fondue with. You can use raclette, or gruyere. You can opt to make this dish spicy by adding some green peppers and paprika. To make it really different try adding some crushed tomatoes and wine. Serve with small pieces of toasted bread or even fruit. Don’t forget to add the cornstarch while making fondue as it helps prevent separation.

Cheese Platter

The great thing about a cheese platter is that it can work as a starter as well as a  dessert. It really depends on your personal preference as to how you like to eat this dish. Lappi will be a great addition to a cheese platter as it is semi soft, is very creamy, and has the most outstanding savory flavor. You can even add some pieces of pineapple  with the cheese to give an extra burst of flavor to this dish.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Lappi cheese will work just fine in a plain old ham sandwich too. Just use some regular white bread, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and some lappi. Works well for a great lunch or an early evening snack.

We hope that you enjoyed reading about these lappi menu ideas. Do keep in mind that this cheese is high in saturated fat so don’t go overboard with it.
