Tip

Freeze Cheese Before Shredding

Before shredding soft cheeses like mozzarella, I put the cheese in the freezer for about 30 minutes. I’ve found this makes it easier to shred, and the cheese doesn’t stick to the grater. —Cheryl J., Beltsville, Maryland

We didn't think much of these, not much flavor and we thought very dry.

Very good but must be served immediately. The cheese gets hard if they sit out too long. All of my kids loved them!

I really like this one. For the reviewer who printed out 3 pages, just learn to "copy and paste." I "copy" only what I want from the recipe, including bits of the reviews, then "paste" it to a document on my computer. Easy and doesn't use paper and ink at all.
