Cheese Noodles
Cream cheese and Roquefort blend create a rich, tangy filling, rolled in Chinese noodles for a unique, savory appetizer suitable for cheese lovers and parties.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add crumbled Roquefort cheese, chopped stuffed olives, and chopped pickled onions to the whipped cream cheese and mix well.
- Form the mixture into finger-length rolls.
- Roll each cheese roll in Chinese noodles.
- Serve with salad.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try using an electric mixer to whip the cream cheese. You can substitute Roquefort cheese with crumbled feta or gorgonzola if desired. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs like chives. If you want to make it a bit spicier, crushed red pepper flakes can add a nice kick. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover cream cheese.
Serving Suggestions
These cheese noodles make a delightful appetizer for gatherings and pair beautifully with a fresh salad. Consider serving them alongside a platter of Vegetable Spring Rolls or even with a bowl of Thai Fried Rice for a more substantial meal. A light dip, such as a simple ranch or garlic yogurt sauce, can also enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheese noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their texture, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other. Reheat them gently in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or enjoy them cold as a refreshing snack or appetizer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cheese noodles ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cheese mixture and form the rolls in advance. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before rolling in the Chinese noodles. This can help the flavors meld together, making them even tastier when served.
What can I use instead of Roquefort cheese?
If you're not a fan of Roquefort, you can substitute it with crumbled feta cheese for a milder flavor or gorgonzola for a similar blue cheese experience. Both alternatives will work well in this recipe while giving a different taste profile.
How do I keep these cheese noodles from getting soggy?
To prevent the cheese noodles from becoming soggy, keep them in a single layer and avoid overcrowding in your storage container. If serving them at a party, place them on a platter just before serving. This helps maintain their crispiness.
