EXTRAS
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, and grated Parmesan. Sprinkle in the cornstarch to help prevent clumping and to improve melt. Add garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried oregano (if using). Toss thoroughly with a spatula until all the cheeses are evenly coated with the seasonings and cornstarch.

Taste for balance. If you prefer a milder blend, reduce salt slightly; if you want more kick, add an extra pinch of garlic powder or pepper. This cheese blend is excellent for topping pizzas, casseroles, pastas, nachos, or grazing boards.

Optional cheese sauce
For a quick cheese sauce, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons of the blend in a small saucepan with a splash of milk or water, whisking until smooth and glossy. Use as a drizzle on baked dishes or as a finishing sauce.

Storage and usage
Store any remaining blend in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before sprinkling on warm dishes for best melt.
