Ingredients
  

  • cheese

Instructions
 

  • Opt for cheeses that melt well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or provolone. Avoid using cheeses that become overly oily or gooey when melted, as they may not produce the desired texture.
  • Slice or shred the cheese into thin, even pieces. This will help it melt more evenly.
  • Place the cheese on a microwave-safe plate or a microwave-safe dish. It's important to use microwave-safe materials to avoid any potential hazards.
  • Microwave the cheese on medium power (50% power) for short intervals of 15 to 20 seconds. This lower power setting will allow for more controlled heating.
  • After each interval, carefully remove the plate from the microwave and check the cheese. It should start melting but not be completely melted yet. If necessary, rotate the plate to ensure even heating.
  • Repeat the microwaving process in short intervals, checking and rotating as needed, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Be cautious not to overcook it, as it can become rubbery or burnt.
  • Once the cheese reaches the desired meltiness and browning, remove it from the microwave and let it rest for a minute or two to solidify slightly.
