Perfectly Melting Cheese Slice Recipes

PERFECTLY MELTING CHEESE SLICE

Perfectly Melting Cheese Slice image

Entered for safe-keeping, from "Modernist Cuisine at Home". Although sodium citrate sounds gross, it is an emulsifying salt that allows you to make ANY cheese into slices that melt as perfectly as American-style sandwich cheese does (and how do you think the processed cheeses get that way, eh?). Of course, it is available through Amazon.com or the Modernist Pantry. If you omit the sodium citrate, the cheese will separate when it melts. These slices are for cheeseburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, vegetables, apple pie, or any other dish needing a melted cheese that doesn't separate. The preparation time includes refrigeration setting time. The slices will keep 10 days when refrigerated or up to 2 months when frozen.

Time 2h14m

Yield 500 grams, 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup cold wheat beer (115 g or 115 mL) or 1/2 cup water (115 g or 115 mL)
14 g sodium citrate
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated (200 g)
3 cups mozzarella cheese, grated (180 g)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat, or lightly oil the sheet, and place it in the oven to warm while you prepare the cheese.
SOLUTION:.
Combine beer or water with sodium citrate in a pot. Stir until dissolved. Then bring to a simmer over medium heat.
CHEESES:.
Add the grated cheeses gradually to the simmering liquid. Use an immersion blender to blend in each addition until it has melted and is completely smooth.
Pour the liquid cheese mixture onto the warm baking sheet. Tip the sheet as needed to form an even layer. Alternatively, pour the cheese into a mold coated with cooking spray. (A silicone tart mold would form 3 1/8-inch diameter circles).
Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until fully set, at least 2 hours.
Cut into rounds or squares 7.5 cm or 3 inches across. Place plastic wrap or parchment paper between the slices to prevent them from sticking together, and store refrigerated or frozen.
