5 easy mozzarella recipes you must try
What's the story
Made up of buffalo milk, mozzarella cheese is probably the first name that comes to mind when you think of cheese. It is mostly used in pizzas and sandwiches. Its stringy and stretchy texture along with its subtle and salty taste makes it a favorite. There are several other recipes you can prepare with mozzarella. Here are five you will love.
Number 1
Baked tomatoes with cheese
You can make this classic Italian dish in no time in your kitchen. For this, slice up a tomato on a baking plate. Add loads of Mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top of the tomatoes. Add fresh basil, some salt, and olive oil. Bake them for 10 minutes in the oven. It can either be eaten at breakfast or as a side dish.
Number 2
Cheesy quesadilla
Fry the pepperoni until it becomes crisp. Take one tortilla and apply pizza sauce to it. Put grated mozzarella and pepperoni on top of it and sprinkle some more cheese. Now take a second tortilla and brush some pizza sauce. Place it on top of the first tortilla. Cook them in a skillet with butter until crisp. Slice into quarters and serve.
Number 3
Cheesy garlic bread
This side dish can be prepared in 30 minutes and can be served with pasta, soup, or salad. Pre-heat the oven and slice a long bread in half, length-wise. Stir butter, garlic, salt, pepper olive oil in a bowl and spread it over the slices. Wrap in foil and bake for 10 minutes. Now add mozzarella, some salt and bake until cheese turns brown,
Number 4
Olive oil marinated mozzarella balls
For this no-cook recipe, you need bocconcini or ciliegine mozzarella (round in shape). Mix olive oil, garlic, herbs, red pepper flakes, and salt. Add mozzarella balls and stir them until well coated.
