Cheese is a valuable food item in LEGO Fortnite that can help you cook useful foods or save you in a pinch. However, you can’t craft it at a crafting bench or grill, so let’s talk about how to obtain this delicious food.

Where to Find Cheese in LEGO Fortnite

The only way to get cheese in LEGO Fortnite is to find it in chests around the map and caves. As you travel around the world, you’ll spot abandoned buildings with treasure chests, which have a chance to spawn cheese inside. Cave chests can also spawn cheese, making the check worthwhile as you’re mining for resources.

However, you’re not guaranteed to find cheese every time, so you may have to explore multiple caves and abandoned towers before encountering your first cheese wedge.

As LEGO Fortnite ages and we get more content updates, we may see ways to turn cheese into milk or more cooking recipes. For now, looting chests is the only way to find it, and only one cooking recipe uses it.

How to Use Cheese in LEGO Fortnite

In LEGO Fortnite, you can eat cheese to heal six hearts and restore five points of hunger to your character. After a three-second eating animation, you’ll regenerate hearts and hunger, allowing you to return to your next activity with little delay.

Alternatively, you can cook it into a pizza if you also have flour, meat, and spicy peppers. After an eight-second delay, eating a pizza grants you five maximum hearts, heals 25 health, and restores 20 hunger points. However, cooking pizza requires building an oven first using Brightcore, obsidian slabs, and copper bars as necessary materials.
