I did a search looking for what cheese you guys buy.
I just wanted to add a little bit of chedder type cheese to my egg beaters in morning and looking for a solution.
What do you guys buy?
Only thing I saw so far was Kraft fat free slices at 30 calories a slice, but it tastes like plastic.

Hmm. How about trying the 2% kind? Most fat free cheeses taste bland. Or, you can always try mozzarella. It's part skim, generally low fat, and tastes pretty good IMO.

Kraft shredded fat free in the bag tastes great on eggs and other recipes.

I tried mozzarella, but it just doesnt have that chedder taste I like(used to) in eggs
I been eating my egg beaters mixed with veggies/onions/spices and it tastes great, but i was just wanted a little cheese action.
Got egg recipes from my own mother, I can cook egg beaters like a pro.

The kraft fat free swiss is not bad imo if you need to go fat free. The other flavors leave much to be desired.

i prefer to use less and go with the "real stuff" instead of fat free b/c i've yet to find one that tastes decent.
i was buying pre sliced packages of cheddar and monterey jack that were both very good.
i don't have the cheddar info in front of me but i believe it was similar to the monterey jack which has 40 cal and 3 g fat in 1/2 slice.
1/2 slice isn't much but when ya melt it it goes farther....

its very hard to get the fat free to work in omelets as there is so much water inthem that it turns the eggs soggy. this is only if you put the cheese and salsa mixture onthe eggs then flip one side over so that you get the stuff in the middle.
if you put the ff cheese slice in the pan first, then let the water evaporate, you can get some cheese-like flavor happening in there.
the 7% cheese isn't too bad but if you go with the cheese, you may want to try the 17% stuff. you may have to work a bit with it at first. you can then cut down on some of the 17% and substitute with the 7% or even the FF cheese slics- this way you can have your own specific percentage of fat in your cheese blend.

Hmm how about you just go with low fat? Fat free is so bland, but you may not want full fat cheese.
