Blender, processor, even a grater if the bread is stale enough.

i`ll second that i`ve used all 3 with good results and if it`s just to use up old bread i`ll freeze the crumbs to use later, they can be used straight from the freezer too.

Has anyone successfully frozen grated mozzarella?

Don't know, but I've got sliced mozzarella, rtc last night, so I'll be watching for the answer.

I have and it's fine. (frozen grated mozzarella that is!)

Yes according to Livalot on another thread:) - I've just cut and pasted it here:

Some great ideas here. What I do is buy normal round mozzarella (often find it in the reduced section of supermarkets) then freeze it. When I am making pizza, I just take it out of freezer maybe 30mins or so before I need it and grate it when it is still frozen as is it so much easier to do! Really cheap, easy and yummy plus doing it like this I find one small mozzarella can be scattered over several pizzas and cooks really quickly - all very money saving:j

I was given several small round mozarellas so now I know what to do with them - anyone give any suggestions for the sliced (I think) feta? Not a cheese I usually buy!

I don't have a blender so I dry it in the oven (0.5 hour on gas mark 1 or two) leave it to cool, put it in a bag and bash the hell out of it with a rolling pin! :rotfl: :rotfl:

I like feta crumbled into couscous and veggies or even on pizza (tho DH thinks this is disgusting). You could also make a feta and spinach pie (google it, never done it myself but have eaten it!)

I have often used feta on pizza...mainly to use up though as I like it just as it comes with tomato and onion, drizzles with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil, with brown bread and butter.

I have also frozen most kinds of cheese with good results, tends to be a bit crumbly when defrosted so if I have the time ( or can be bothered!) I would grate it before freezing...thanks for the tip about freezing mozzarella before grating Belfast Girl!
