Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze portions for up to 3 months.

Tip: If the mixture is too stiff to press, you can add a teaspoon of milk or cream to the melted cheese to loosen it slightly.

Variation: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted cheese for enhanced flavor.

Safety: Be careful when melting cheese as it can burn if heated too high or left unattended.
