I’d like to share my dad’s favorite version of queso de bola toasties: Grate queso de bola & quickly cook in boiling oil. The grated bits will stick to each other & form “patties” of QDB. Don’t leave too long so it will be crispy (not chewy) & eat right away with hot pandesal! Yummy and easy to do!

Can anyone confirm if real (Marca PiÃ±a or Pato) QdB is made from raw (unpasteurized) milk? I was just wondering why the Australian Edam cheeses taste so different from the Dutch Edam.

This is my favorite, especially when I get strawberry jam straight from Baguio! And never mind the calories. :)

uyster, I think QdB is a much harder/drier cheese so it might have a very different impact on the pizza versus the mozzarella, but I suppose it can’t hurt to try it…

Can QdB be a good substitute for mozarella if you’re making a pizza?

We do this at home but instead of white bread we use the good old pan de sal. I like mine a bit more brown. Even when it gets cold it’s still good. Burned my tongue when I was a small girl a lot of times but stil can’t get enough.

this looks really satisfying, and cheese plus bread is a great snack. . . melting that into croissant would be sinful hehehe calorie overload. . .

This looks good! Will try this.

What we did one holiday was to cut the QdB into thin slices and put them in the microwave (until they turned bubbly). They actually tasted like very flavorful cheese potato chips! Yummy! (Expensive chips though)

Speaking of Quezo de Bola and blog inspirations…Magnolia ice cream recently came out with a limited edition Quezo de Bola flavor (not sure if still available). It isn’t too different from the usual cheese ice cream, except it has lots of tiny QdB bits. Anyway, I was about to have some at my parents’ house the other day, when I saw my mom’s hoard (yes, she has taken to hoarding them, thanks to you, MM) of mangosteen jam. They went superbly together! I shared the discovery with my folks, and my dad said he can’t think of anything mangosteen jam WOULDN’T go well with. ;-)
