Got it! Here’s a simple and versatile mozzarella cheese slice recipe idea you can make at home for sandwiches, melts, or snacks:
Homemade Mozzarella Cheese Slices (Quick Version)
Ingredients (makes about 8–10 slices)
4 cups whole milk
1 ½ tsp citric acid (dissolved in ¼ cup water)
½ tsp liquid rennet (or ¼ rennet tablet, dissolved in ¼ cup water)
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp cold water
Instructions
Prepare the milk:
Pour milk into a large saucepan. Slowly heat to 32°C (90°F).
Stir in citric acid solution.
Add rennet:
Add dissolved rennet and stir gently for 30 seconds.
Cover and let sit 5–10 minutes until curd forms.
Cut curds:
Cut curds into small cubes using a knife.
Let rest 5 minutes.
Cook curds:
Heat gently to 41°C (105°F) while stirring slowly.
Once curds pull together, drain whey using a slotted spoon.
Stretch the cheese:
Microwave curds 1 minute, drain, fold, and knead with salt.
Repeat until smooth and stretchy.
Form slices:
Flatten cheese into a rectangle (½ inch thick).
Chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours.
Slice into uniform pieces for sandwiches or melts.
💡 Tips:
For faster melting, use low-moisture mozzarella in this method.
You can shape into small blocks for snacking or sandwiches.
Freshly made mozzarella is best eaten within a few days.
If you want, I can also give you a super quick “no-cook” mozzarella slice hack using just store-bought shredded mozzarella that melts perfectly for sandwiches in minutes.
