Simply unwrap a slice and place it on your food. It melts very quickly, making it ideal for adding a creamy, cheesy element to hot dishes. You can layer it on sandwiches before grilling or toasting, or place it on top of a burger patty during the last minute of cooking to achieve a melty topping. They are also great for folding into quesadillas or adding to grilled cheese sandwiches for an extra layer of gooeyness. Their uniform shape makes them easy to stack.
