Mozzarella cheese is wonderful – warm, mild, and of course delightfully gooey. Unfortunately, making it from scratch isn’t a spur-of-the-moment endeavor…or maybe it is! This recipe is a “shortcut” to mozzarella, since it uses a microwave to speed things along.  If you don’t have a microwave, you can use a pot of very hot water and float a bowl in it instead. The goal is to get the curds hot so that they melt together and become stretchy like taffy. 

Also, the curds will get quite hot — it’s really helpful to have a pair of clean kitchen gloves to protect your hands. Emma over at thekitchn.com has shared her awesome recipe for throwing together some delicious mozzarella in a mere 30 minutes. To see how, just click the link below:
