These slices can be used directly from the package. For pizzas, place them on top of the cheese before baking. They will crisp up slightly in the oven, releasing their savory flavors. In sandwiches, they can be layered with other ingredients or even lightly heated. They can also be added to pasta sauces or baked dishes towards the end of cooking to infuse their taste. Experiment with different applications to discover your favorite ways to enjoy them.
