Thanks to all the readers who shared their favorite cheese recipes and were entered in the raffle to win a gift basket courtesy of Sugar River Cheese Co. Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The randomly selected winner is…Naomi! Naomi thinks cheese is at its best in a butternut squash and Gruyere souffle. “It’s much easier to make than it sounds, and is unbelievably delicious,” she said.

As for your own cheesy winners:

2 of you thought cheese shined in a quiche – or as ck so brilliantly described it “fancy omelet pie.”
5 of you preferred your cheese straight up, with maybe some crackers or slices of crisp apple.
5 wanted your cheese melty and hot in a fondue
9 raved about cheese sandwiches – everything from grilled cheese, to slices on Italian bread with sundried tomatoes, to a dang quesadilla.
11 agreed with Mark’s suggestion that Mac n’ Cheese was the ultimate way to consume cheese.
