Tips:

  • Select the right cheese: For best results, choose a cheese that is firm and dense, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your cheese its tangy flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus juices.
  • Marinate the cheese for at least 24 hours: The longer you marinate the cheese, the more flavorful it will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate the cheese for as little as 4 hours, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • Grill or pan-fry the cheese: Once the cheese is marinated, you can grill or pan-fry it until it is melted and bubbly. Be careful not to overcook the cheese, or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the cheese immediately: Marinated cheese is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it on its own, or you can use it as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or salads.
