Frequently Asked Questions About Melted cheese with cornmeal
How do you make melted cheese with cornmeal?
Melted cheese with cornmeal is made by toasting cornmeal in butter, whisking in water or milk, then stirring in cheese until it melts. Add the liquid gradually to prevent lumps, and serve the dish hot while the cheese is still stretchy.
What cheese is best for melted cheese with cornmeal?
A mild, salty cheese that melts and stretches works best in melted cheese with cornmeal. Turkish Black Sea versions often use kolot or string cheese; if those are unavailable, choose a good melting cheese rather than a hard, aged one.
Is melted cheese with cornmeal the same as kuymak or mıhlama?
Melted cheese with cornmeal is closely related to kuymak and mıhlama, Turkish Black Sea dishes made with cornmeal, fat, and melting cheese. The names and the proportions of cheese and flour vary by region and household, so recipes are not always identical.
Where does melted cheese with cornmeal come from?
Melted cheese with cornmeal is associated with the Black Sea region of Turkey, where cornmeal and local cheeses are common in traditional cooking. It is often served hot for breakfast, much like kuymak or mıhlama.
Why is melted cheese with cornmeal not stretchy?
Melted cheese with cornmeal may not stretch if the cheese does not melt well or the mixture is cooked too long. Use a fresh, stringy melting cheese and take the pan off the heat once the cheese has melted.
What do you serve with melted cheese with cornmeal?
Melted cheese with cornmeal is usually served straight from the pan with crusty bread or cornbread for dipping. It is rich and filling, so it also works as part of a Turkish-style breakfast alongside tea and simpler accompaniments.
Should you use milk or water in melted cheese with cornmeal?
Either milk or water can be used in melted cheese with cornmeal. Water lets the cheese and toasted cornmeal flavors stand out, while milk gives the mixture a creamier finish; add it gradually until the texture is thick but spoonable.
Do you have to toast the cornmeal for melted cheese with cornmeal?
Yes, toasting the cornmeal in butter first gives melted cheese with cornmeal a fuller flavor and helps it cook evenly. Stir constantly over moderate heat, then add the liquid slowly so the flour does not form lumps.
Can you make melted cheese with cornmeal without butter?
Yes, melted cheese with cornmeal can be made with another cooking fat instead of butter. Butter gives the dish its familiar rich flavor, but a neutral oil will still toast the cornmeal; adjust added salt to account for salty cheese.
Can you reheat melted cheese with cornmeal the next day?
Yes, refrigerate leftover melted cheese with cornmeal in a covered container and reheat it gently in a pan. Stir in a small splash of water or milk as it warms; the cheese may not become as stretchy as it was when freshly made.

What is Melted cheese with cornmeal?
Melted cheese with cornmeal is a Turkish pan dish made by cooking cornmeal with cheese until the mixture turns thick, creamy and stretchy. It is often linked with Black Sea cooking, though recipes vary from household to household and may include butter. It is best served straight from the pan while the cheese is still soft.
In Turkey, it is commonly eaten hot at breakfast, with bread dipped into the pan and tea alongside. The cheese makes it a protein- and calcium-rich choice, while the cheese and butter also give it a substantial amount of fat; a 100 g portion has 15.2 g of protein. For a less rich serving, use butter sparingly and pair it with fresh vegetables.
