I'm just bumping this thread a little rather than starting a new one, I've found what can only be described as a SLAB of mozzarella cheese in the fridge I forgot I'd bought, use by date is somewhere in April, beginning of I think, it's huge, so on the hunt for yummy recipes.

Also does anyone know how pizza hut make that pizza with the little cheese bits around the edges? Because that looks lovely

Hi Frugal. Mozzarella is actually the original cheese used for pizzas. So you'll have plenty to use there.

Also why not make vegetable and mozzarella bakes? Just layer all sorts of part-cooked veg, any kind of tomato sauce (can be HM or from a jar - pizza sauce goes really well with this) and plenty of mozzarella, repeat until you reach the top, finishing off with the cheese of course. Bake and eat with warm toast - delicious!

Make basic pancakes then fill with sliced mozarella and ham.Bake for 5-10 minutes in the oven till the cheese melts.Kids love them and it uses up leftovers, in my case eggs and sliced ham.

I've had a go at making the pizza hut-esque pizzas. What I did was roll the pizza base out larger than needed, then cut little snips all the way round (as if you were lining a cake tin or cooking a gammon steak) placed a bit of cheese in each snippet and folded over - then made the rest of the pizza like normal - not quite the same - but similar

aubergine and mozzarella bake - grill(or microwave!) slices of aubergine until tender (I don't bother with oil and it's never been a problem) then layer the slices with tomato sauce and the sliced mozzarella - should end up with 2 layers finishing with mozarella on top. Sprinkle with a bit of parmesan and bake for about 20 minutes. Gorgeous!

That's what I based my "veg and mozzarella bake" on. I eat this all the time, hubby doesn't like aubergines so it's all for me!

I half-cook some pasta and put it in a oven bake dish with mushrooms, peppers, onions, celery and whatever else you have to hand- (I make a chilli, garlic, basil and tomato sauce in advance) which I then add to the dish until everything is covered in the sauce- then smother with mozzerella and bake for half an hour!! Gorgeous!!

Hi owens,

I use it on pizza or stirred into a tomato based pasta sauce. There's an earlier thread with more ideas that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.
