1
Use as-is
Remove one cheese slice from its packaging. If serving cold (for a sandwich or snack), place the slice directly on the bread or plate.
2
Melt on stovetop (skillet)
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Place the cheese slice in the skillet and let it melt undisturbed for 30–60 seconds until it becomes soft and slightly bubbly. Use a spatula to transfer the melted cheese onto bread or a plate.
3
Melt in microwave
Place the slice on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 10–15 seconds (times vary by microwave) until softened and slightly melted. Remove carefully — the cheese and plate may be hot.
4
Broil/toaster oven melt
Preheat the broiler or toaster oven to high. Place the slice on bread on a baking tray and broil 30–60 seconds or until cheese is bubbly and edges are lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.

5
If using bread, lightly butter one side of the bread slice. If you plan to toast, place the bread butter-side down on a skillet or under the broiler and toast until golden (about 1–2 minutes on skillet over medium heat or 30–60 seconds under broiler).
6
Place the warm melted or cold cheese slice on the prepared bread. If desired, fold the cheese slice to fit the bread.

7
Sprinkle black pepper and/or chopped fresh herbs over the cheese while warm so the seasoning adheres. Serve immediately.
