What type of cheese do they use in chicken cordon bleu?!
When I was in France, we had chicken cordon bleu and I wasnt sure what type of cheese was used!. It was white and very creamy!. Anyone know what type of cheese they use in France when they make it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Here they use Emmenthal, in France it probably was Comte!.
But keep in mind, that many cheeses fall in to this family ( Gruyere)
so depending on where you were in France it could have been any cheese that falls in this category!.
They all taste similar!.
Go with Emmethal or Gruyere!.
But they're more toward the yellow side!.
I've seen it made with Boursin( garlic and herb) that's white and creamy!.
That's the prob!.
You could use anything, even a plain soft white goat cheese!.
But traditional is Gruyere or Emmenthal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmmm well I don't know about France but I am from Australia and when we make cordon bleu over here we generally tend to use Mozarella because of the way it melts and its mild flavour!.

Gruyere is traditional!.!.!.!.but I use swiss,,,,,,,,or you could use both!.
gruyere is creamy when melted, but I like the additional nutty flavor of a GOOD swiss cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
