3️⃣ Why They’re Great
- Melts beautifully: Perfect for gooey grilled cheese, burgers, or baked shrimp dishes.
- Convenient: No grating or slicing needed.
- Consistent portion: Each slice is uniform, which helps with calorie counting or recipe planning.
- Versatile: Works cold in sandwiches or hot on pizza, casseroles, and pasta.
4️⃣ Cooking Tips
- Grilled Cheese or Burgers: Place slice on top and cover pan for a minute — it melts evenly.
- Crispy Dishes: Combine with a little parmesan or panko on top of baked shrimp or chicken for a crunchy, melty finish.
- Prevent Sogginess: Low-moisture slices are best for baked dishes; fresh mozzarella has more water, which can make things watery.
- Flavor Boost: Sprinkle a tiny bit of garlic powder or smoked paprika before melting for extra taste.
5️⃣ Fun Fact
Mozzarella slices are technically processed cheese if labeled as such, meaning they’re designed to melt smoothly and stretch without separating, unlike fresh mozzarella which can sometimes release water when heated. That’s why they’re a favorite for quick, cheesy recipes.
