Mozzarella Cheese Slices

Mozzarella Cheese Slices – Overview & Uses

Mozzarella cheese slices are smooth, mild, and slightly stretchy slices of mozzarella—ideal for layering, melting, or snacking. Here’s a quick guide to help you get the most out of them:

🧾 Types of Mozzarella Slices:

1. Low-Moisture Mozzarella Slices

   • Pre-sliced and packaged (like for sandwiches or burgers)

   • Melts beautifully — great for grilled cheese, paninis, or burgers

   • Typically found in the dairy or deli section

2. Fresh Mozzarella Slices

   • Soft, wet, and creamy — usually packed in water

   • Best for Caprese salad, flatbreads, or artisan sandwiches

   • Doesn’t melt as well but has a luxurious mouthfeel

🍽️ Popular Uses:

• Sandwiches & Burgers – Adds gooey stretch and a mild flavor

• Paninis – Melts evenly and pairs well with tomato, pesto, or turkey

• Pizza or Flatbread – Layer slices for a thicker melt than shredded

• Caprese Salad – Use fresh mozzarella slices with tomatoes and basil

• Snacks – Enjoy cold with crackers, salami, or fruit

• Eggplant or Chicken Parm – Lay slices on top for perfect melting

🥄 Pro Tips:

• Let mozzarella slices sit at room temp for 10 minutes before melting for best results.

• If using fresh mozzarella, pat dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.

• Combine with sharper cheeses like provolone or Parmesan for depth.
