How people cook with it

When cooking, this cheese alternative melts and browns similarly to dairy cheese, though it may require slightly different timing. It can be grated or sliced and added to hot dishes like pasta bakes, quesadillas, or grilled sandwiches. For best results, incorporate it towards the end of the cooking process to allow it to soften and melt without becoming oily. Its flavor is enhanced when paired with other savory ingredients.
