Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the mozzarella?

While mozzarella is ideal for its melting properties, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack. The flavor and texture may change slightly.

How do I store cheese sauce?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, stirring until smooth.
