This is an old food find that I would like to resurface. I realized today how much I use Laughing Cow but I always do the same two things with it. Use it either as a dip for crackers or as the cheese on a sandwich. I know there has to be other interesting applications so I thought I would throw the question out there.
How do you use Laughing Cow cheese?

I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...] -

I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

I made burger patties with 93% ground beef and put some herb & cheese laughing cow in the center of each, then grilled. This was one of my families favorite meals this summer.
I made a HUGE spaghetti squash last night and had quite a bit left over. So-I sprayed a skillet with some I can\’t believe it\’s not butter spray and added 2 wedges of herb and garlic laughing cow cheese, a little FF half and half and a little skim milk. When the cheese wedges started to melt a bit, I added my cold squash strands and some garlic powder, salt and pepper. It was a HUGE plate of food, and couldn\’t have been more than 3 WWP\’s. Very tasty-kinda like alfredo.
I spread it on yellow or orange peppers stick it in the microwave for a few minutes and eat. Sometimes adding some low calorie turkey. Also I found out that they freeze well so when the store has a sale I stock up. They can be a tad less creamy but still taste wonderful.
I use it on sandwiches instead of mayo( I LOATHE low-fat mayo) and it’s very good for breakfast. My favorite recipe is: serving of eggbeaters, two slices of whole grain bread, speading laughing cow on toast with slices of fresh tomato and cracked black pepper. Very low in points and VERY yummy.
Spread on a toasted whole wheat mini bagel square, topped with bruschetta. Easy pizza.
I just tried this idea tonight.
1 flour tortilla (cut in half)
1 apple (peel and slice thin)
1 wedge of laughing cow cheese
Spread laughing cow cheese on 1 side of each tortilla half
Place apples in dish sprinkle with 2 packets of splenda and heavy cinnamon. Cover and microwave 4 minutes. Place on one tortilla and top with the other one. Heat griddle on med high . Spray both sides of tortilla and place on hot griddle. Brown on 1st side and turn. Cut in half.
Mmmmmmm! and only 3 points!
Duh! spray with Pam.
I love this post! Thank you, everyone. I literally looked up this post as I was grocery shopping, while my husband patiently stood there with the cart. Honey, I know it’s here somewhere, I need to remember what everyone was talking about, again! Laughing Cow Light Cheese, right! I bought my first circle and it’s amazing. I’ve used it with eggs, english muffins, crackers, and still feel great because, that little wedge of goodness, is only ONE POINT! Yay! :) Thank you! I love new, good food finds and ideas! Yay! :)
I’m on a no carb (less than 20g per day) high protein/fat diet and loooove laughing cow. I have found it’s good on everything. I spread it on fried eggs the other day, it was really good and I don’t even really like eggs, gotta do them because of the protein though. So this morning I had several walnuts – dipped them in laughing cow. First one was kind weird, but i ate them all like that in no time.
At lunch today I had another one, I think I’m addicted. I got the grill chicken from mickey d’s – plain, threw away the bun. So i basically had a grilled chicken breast. Covered it in laughing cow, soooo good! My favorite is the garlic and herb, but I’m trying the french onion, just bought it. We’ll see if its as good.
I tried the “Alfredo” sause the other day, it wasn’t like alfredo, but it was still pretty good, a little thicker and kinda sticky, but still good.
I use Laughing Cow cheese to make stuffed baked chicken breasts – or to make faux alfredo sauce…..
I use it as the cheese in grilled cheese sandwiches.
My favorite way to enjoy the wedges is so simple, I wonder if it’s worth posting. I just spread small amounts on grape tomatoes individually as I pop them into my mouth! About 16-20 tomatoes to 2 wedges is my perfect ratio. I don’t know anything about points, but it seems like a healthy snack, is quite filling, and helps me get my veggies in.
I eat laughing cow with a cut up green apple.
love this cheese take two slices of whole wheat Bread cut crusts off flatened bread a little spread laughing cow cheese on bread get two dill pickles dry pickles and place on bread wrap like a jeely roll and refrigerate for a hr and the cut in pinwheels makes a nice appetizer and it is very very good made these for my bunko club and the loved them and didnt realize they were low fat and low calorie
Italian pasta bake…yay
My favorite way to use laughing cow cheese is in a hungry-girl recipe. It is their spinach dip. It says to use so many ounces of fat free cheese but I use 5 triangles laughing cow cheese, then the fat-free mayo, fat-free sour cream, reduced fat parmesan, some garlic, and defrosted/squeezed dry frozen spinach… It tastes just as good as the restaurant but only has about 75 cal for 3 large Tablespoons, which is plenty for one serving for me.
I just used laughing cow cheese on a low carb torillia wrap with eggs. My children wanted the egg burrito for breakfast I had no cheese at all in the house…mmm wondered if this would work! I lightly very lightly spread it added an egg, wrapped gave it and they loved it! :) new fav in our house
I broil a portabella mushroom cap and some sliced tomatoes while I am sauteeing fresh spinach. When everything is cooked, I spread a laughing cow light swiss on the mushroom, then layer the spinach and tomatoes on top. Awesome!!
tonight i sliced open chicken breasts and stuffed them with mushrooms, spinach, and a wedge of garlic & herb laughing cow cheese. soooo yummmy! even my 14 & 10 yr olds loved it!
i spread it on a cracker with some jelly, jam, or preserves. i love to do that with brie but its so fattening. thank goodness for laughing cow!
I use it as a dip for my carrots rather than ranch dressing. Yum!
HI I live in Arizona and would like to know who carries this product.
Richard
I can find it at most grocery stores. Walmart, carries it in their deli cheese section. Some carry it in their regular cheese section. It comes in a round, flat container.
Hi Richard. I agree with Kendra. I find it at most regular grocery stores on the east coast. Look at the deli cheese counter or contact the company directly they will be able to help.

[...] wrap with laughing cow , hamm mustard and a 1 point tortilla [...]
These are all amazing! I mix 2 laughing cow cheeses with one avocado and it makes an amazing avocado spread for sandwiches or for a dip!!
I know this is older but my favorite thing used to be to get a mini Pepperidge Farm whole grain bagel and toast it, then slather the garlic or regular flavor on it, like cream cheese. Oh my! It makes my mouth water still!
I put it in a toasted pita and stuff it with cooked spinach with a dash of garlic salt. Tasted like spinach pie and only 3 points plus value!
I have done the following with this cheese: put a wedge on a hot baked potato (healthier than butter and sour cream); put on a steak with sautéed onions; add it to broccoli; use on crackers and raw veggies; and make an Alfredo sauce with a couple of wedges, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese. I have used the alfredo sauce to cover sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic, spinach and pasta. Yum!
