Answer 1

You're going to be better off to make a cheese sauce out of it, if you just melt it, it's going to turn into a sticky goopy mess. Just make some white sauce and add the shredded cheese to it, here is the recipe:

BASIC WHITE AND CHEESE SAUCES

2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk or cream
Salt and white pepper to taste

CHEESE SAUCE:

1/2 c. shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Blend ingredients in blender, food processor, or wire whisk. Basic white sauce consists of the first 4 ingredients. Cheese sauce is simply white sauce with chredded cheese added.
Pour into saucepan and cook over low heat, stir constantly until thick. Season with salt and white pepper. Sauce can be thinned by using half of the butter and flour. It can also be made thicker by using twice the amount of butter and flour. Low heat and stirring are secrets of success. May be cooked in microwave with suitable container by cooking for 2 minutes, stirring well and repeat. Continue to cook for 2 minutes and stirring until bubbling smooth.

Answer 3

I don't know how much cheese you have, so these directions are going to be for what I use when I make macaroni and cheese. It is delicious. In a fry pan on low heat, melt 3 Tb butter or margarine. When it is melted, stir in 1 or 2 Tb flour. This is called making a roux. Stir gently, then SLOWLY add 2 C. Milk. Stir until no longer lumpy, add 1/2 Lb grated cheddar cheese. Pour over macaroni, stir and bake. Now that's for a baked macaroni cheese dish. If you want...more like nachos...where you melt the cheese and then it hardens back up, you do that in the microwave. More specifics in your question would be helpful. If you're looking for like a Hollandaise, to serve over vegetables, that's a completely different topic. If you could add specifics, I might be able to help you more.

Answer 5

you should just melt it on top of the chips and make Nachos. You can do it in the oven or microwave. Just use a cheese grater. If you have some onions or tomatoes you can put them on top too.

Answer 6

the best way to melt shredded moz. is in a double boiler with a little sherry and heavy cream. to turn it into a dip, add sour cream (once its off the heat) and chili powder.

Answer 7

Sure throw it in the microwave for about a min. Make sure you eat it quickly though cause the cheese will harden pretty fast

Answer 8

Don't use mozzerella. It's such a bland and mild cheese, and there is really no reason to add it because it doesn't have enough flavor.

Answer 9

Get two pots, fill one with water and put the other pot on top of it, and put the cheese in the empty one. Then boil on top of stove...
You don't want your cheese to be fried therefore the double pot.
