📋 Grilled Scamorza Cheese
Grilled Scamorza cheese is the most stretchy, gooey, smoky, chewy and nutty cheese you can have. A spun-paste cheese made with cow's milk, Scamorza is similar to mozzarella. When grilled on a skillet, it forms a crispy crust outside while melting inside. It becomes stringy but remains firm, the perfect cheese to grill. If you are looking for a gluten free fried mozzarella without breadcrumbs, this is the perfect alternative. I serve it with fried polenta and porcini mushrooms.
