]]> When it comes to mac n’ cheese, also known as America’s greatest pastime, there are about a million different ways to make it. That being said, there are ways to make it that are generally better than others, and part of this has to do with the type of cheese being used. All cheeses are tasty, and it’s like we’re going to complain if you use a cheese on this list. But the following three cheeses are without a doubt our absolute favorites when it comes to this classic dish.

Cheddar

This isn’t a ranking, but if it was, cheddar would be our number one hands down. The vibrant and sharp taste of a strong cheddar is simply one of the best things you can add to a steaming pot of mac n’ cheese, and it’s not even close. To cap things off, cheddar’s classic orange color makes it all the better.

Mozzarella

Here’s another excellent cheese choice for this popular dish. Mozzarella has a subtle yet classic taste that has stood the test of time for centuries, making it an optimal choice for mac n’ cheese.

Pepper Jack

If you’re someone who enjoys their mac n’ cheese with a nice peppery kick, then pepper jack might be the way to go for you. It’s not the typical choice that people go with, but for those willing to experiment, it can turn into an absolute favorite.

]]> Are you planning to make a tasty omelet? Thinking about adding some tasty cheeses to the mix? That’s a great idea, because cheese is one of the best possible things you can pair with fried eggs. However, there are tons of different cheeses out there, so which one should you use? Here are three cheese options that will work perfectly with your eggs.

Mozzarella

Mozzarella is one of the most popular cheeses in the world, and for good reason. Although it’s usually found on pizza, Mozzarella is so versatile that it can also make your omelet taste amazing. Its mild yet rich flavor is something that you really can’t go wrong with.

Cheddar

Many believe that Cheddar is the best cheese for omelets, and they certainly make a compelling argument. Its strong flavor pairs amazingly well with it, and its bright orange color adds a nice touch from a visual standpoint (if you care about that sort of thing).

Pepper Jack

Finally, if you like a little spiciness in your eggs, Pepper Jack is for you. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but those who enjoy it swear by it to anyone who will listen. Give it a shot and see how you like it!

]]> There are few things better than biting into a pizza and tasting the gooey delight of melted cheese or slicing a grilled cheese sandwich and pulling it apart while watching that incredibly satisfying cheese pull. However, these things only happen if you have the right cheese. If you happen to make a mistake while selecting which cheese to use, you will end up disappointed as not all cheeses are capable of turning into a mouth-watering melt. These are the five best kinds of cheese to get that melt.

Mozzarella

Let’s start with the pizza’s favorite cheeseā€”mozzarella. It’s notorious for its high level of moisture and softness, which is why it has a lower melting point and is able to melt in the stringy way we all love.

Young Cheddar

Cheddar is one of the best melting cheeses, but only the young variant. As cheddar gets older, it loses its moisture and obtains acidity, which takes away from its ability to melt well.

Pro tip: Grate the cheddar before melting it. You’ll be amazed by the result.

Gruyere

Gruyere is a hard cheese in its original state but it acquires a smooth and gooey texture when exposed to heat. This makes it a preferable choice for cheese fondue. This Swiss cheese is also famous for its rich, creamy, and nutty flavor that only gets intensified during melting.

Emmental

Emmental is a semi-hard cheese that also comes from Switzerland and it is characterized by an aromatic and sweet flavor. But more importantly, it melts wonderfully thanks to its pH level.

American Cheese

If you like simpler cheese and are looking for something that tastes great and melts well, American cheese is a great choice.

Cheddar

Sometimes people prefer a little more ā€œbiteā€ in their lasagna cheese, which means that cheddar could be a good option. While this traditional cheese of British origins does have a little more bite than mozzarella, itā€™s plenty creamy too.
