]]>The post 3 Things You Should Consider Before Topping Your Casserole with Cheese appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Cheese Overload
If you want to keep your casserole on the healthier side, you’ll have to tread lightly when adding cheese. The cheese will add a lot of fat and calories to your dish, and it’s best used in moderation. Replacing it with low-fat, plant-based varieties isn’t always the best alternative, because they don’t melt so well.
Right Variety
Cheese comes in many shapes and sizes, and the list of tasty varieties is pretty much endless. If you’re not sure which one to use when topping your casserole, Parmesan is your safest bet. Cheeses that melt well, such as shredded Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella, are also an option, and mixing them up together is a great idea.
Melting Cheeses
Speaking of cheese that melts well, the melting qualities of your cheese are the most important factor when it comes to casseroles. Pre-shredded cheeses won’t do your casserole any good, and you shouldn’t be using feta and blue cheese on their own because they don’t melt well.
