3 Yummy Mozzarella Cheese Dishes To Try At Home

Zucchini Pizza-Serves 6

Ingredients:

Method

• Preheat your oven to 200°C.
• Place the shredded zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Afterwards, squeeze out the liquid using a clean cloth or paper towel.
• In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, beaten eggs, 1/2 cup mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Transfer the zucchini mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to form a crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the crust is set and lightly browned.
• Remove the zucchini crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and the Cheddar cheese.
• Add your favourite toppings, such as bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, and black olives.
• Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve.

Korean-Style Fire Chicken With Cheese - Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

• In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, rice syrup, gochugaru, gochujang, minced garlic, minced ginger, cooking wine, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
• Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, mixing well to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
• Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for a more intense flavour.

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, spreading the pieces out in a single layer.
• Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it is fully cooked and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

• Once the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, transfer it to a serving platter.
• Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for garnish.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Arancini With Mozzarella-Serves 6

Ingredients

Method

• In a large bowl, combine the leftover risotto or cooked rice, grated Parmesan cheese, and one beaten egg. Mix until well incorporated.
• Take a small handful of the rice mixture and flatten it into your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the centre and shape the rice around it to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture and mozzarella cubes.
• Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish, the beaten eggs in the second, and the breadcrumbs in the third. Roll each rice ball in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each ball is fully covered.
• In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add a few arancini at a time, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked arancini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• Serve the mozzarella-stuffed arancini hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
