This cheese is ready to eat straight from the package. For sandwiches, simply layer the slices onto bread with your favorite fillings. When making a grilled cheese, place the slices between two pieces of buttered bread and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. It can also be added to quesadillas or folded into omelets during the last minute of cooking. For a simple appetizer, arrange the slices on a platter with crackers and fruit.
