Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I make these in the microwave?
A: Yes! Place cheese mounds on a piece of parchment on a microwave-safe plate and zap them for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Q: Do I need to grease the pan?
A: No — the cheese releases its own oils, making it naturally non-stick with parchment or silicone.
Q: What cheese works best?
A: Hard cheeses like Parmesan, Asiago, or cheddar yield the crispiest results. Avoid fresh or soft cheeses like goat or Brie.
