Breakfast Grilled Cheese
The best way to kick off National Cheese Lovers Day? By following this tasty recipe for a Bacon & Egg Breakfast Grilled Cheese Sandwich of course! Two eggs, a slice of cheese, and a few strips of bacon are all you need to make this meal, and the best part is that it only takes a total of twelve minutes—four minutes of prep and eight minutes of cooking—to prepare.

Sweet Potato and Mozzarella Skillet
Just ate breakfast, but aren’t quite ready for lunch? We have a cheesy suggestion for you! An ideal late-morning snack, this Sweet Potato and Mozzarella Skillet will be the talk of the table! Only three ingredients—one large sweet potato, 4 large eggs, and some mozzarella cheese—are required, but we encourage you to sprinkle in some pepper or paprika for extra flavoring.

Mac & Cheese Fritters
This creative spin on Mac and Cheese is the perfect lunch option on National Cheese Lovers Day. If you decide to go ahead and make this treat, we suggest you follow this recipe from Spoon University. Simply gather some macaroni, onions, and your choice of cheese—the recipe calls for cheddar cheese, but feel free to use Monterey Jack or Smoked Gouda if you prefer— follow the directions, and lunch will be served in under an hour.

Cheese Fondue
Need a little filler before dinner? Then try this recipe for Cheese Fondue! Although the recipe recommends Swiss or Gouda cheese, feel free to use any aged cheese for maximum flavor. Add in your choice of vegetables and spices, and your homemade fondue will be ready in 35 minutes! Once completed, this fondue will serve as a tasty finishing touch on any snack or finger food.

Everyone loves pizza! And on National Cheese Lovers Day, it’s an obvious choice for dinner. In honor of the occasion, we recommend you try this recipe for Four Cheese Pizza from I Am A Food Blog.
