How to Make Healthy Melted Cheese

This quick and easy high-protein melted cheese is perfect for pizza, toast, or dipping. It has half the calories and fat of regular mozzarella while being rich in B vitamins, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Calcium, Zinc, and Omega-3s.

This recipe uses potato starch to create a stretchy, cheese-like texture, and nutritional yeast for a deliciously cheesy flavor.

Ingredients

120 ml ~ ½ cup milk | soy, oat or cashew
15 g ~ 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
15 g ~ 1 ½ tbsp potato starch
15 ml ~ 1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp turmeric powder (optional)

Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan. Add potato starch last. 
2. Whisk to combine.
3. Set heat to medium (induction #5) and whisk continuously until it begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and continue whisking until very smooth. Potato starch thickens really quickly and adds cheese-like stretch to the roux. And it’s done. You can now use it for pizza, grilled cheese or to dip chips in. 

This recipe makes roughly 170 g ~ 6 oz of melted cheese. It’s enough to cover a pizza.
