Scoffed a meringue filled with cheese (4)
I believe the answer is:
edam
'cheese' is the definition.
(I know that Edam is a type of cheese)
'scoffed a meringue filled with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EDAM' is hidden in the letters of 'scoffed a meringue filled'.
(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Made into a nice cheese" , "Mild yellow Dutch cheese" , "something from the deli" , "edible sphere" , "Hard Dutch cheese" .)
