Congratulations!You've made or purchased a delicious, fresh mozzarella cheese.
If you find yourself with a larger amount than you expected, you may need ideas for different dishes that highlight this semi-soft cheese.
Mozzarella has a mild, milky taste and is often paired with salty flavors such as anchovies or olives.
Try some of these simple, mozzarella dishes and invite some friends.
Keep in mind that slices of fresh, white mozzarella are wonderful on their own.
Salads To showcase the smooth, creamy mozzarella, a simple presentation works best.
Make a Caprese salad in which you lay out a slightly overlapping tomato slice, mozzarella slice and a basil leaf, continuing this pattern on a large serving tray or on individual plates.
A light drizzle of good olive oil and salt and pepper transforms these raw ingredients into an elegant opening to a meal.
Appetizers One of our all-time favorite ways to serve fresh mozzarella is lightly breaded and fried.
Lay lightly-browned cheese slices on top of mixed greens along with thin slices of prosciutto.
The hot mozzarella oozes from its crispy crust.
This dish offers a sophisticated balance of tastes, temperatures and textures.
Preserved Mozzarella Marinating foods is an easy and attractive preservation technique.
To marinate mozzarella, simply create a mixture of 1 1/4 cups olive oil, fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary, and two garlic cloves.
Place this mixture along with the mozzarella in a tightly-sealed jar.
This snack will keep up to two weeks in the refrigerator and goes well with wine or cocktails.
You can even use the same marinade recipe with other cheeses such as feta.
Experiment with simple dishes where you'll get maximum enjoyment from your fresh mozzarella cheese.
You'll easily recognize its versatility and usefulness.
