How to Make Baked Cheese
A very tasty dish made from different sorts of cheese is served in one restaurant in Italy, in the Abruzzo region. Cheese is baked in a refractory form until it is semi liquid and covered with a nice golden crust. It is served straightaway without even taking it out of the form. There is nothing tastier in the whole world. The soft mush melts in your mouth and the taste is very rich. We tried to make a dish like that.
