Looking back I think my first mouthful of mozzarella cheese
came from pizza. Then I was introduced
to lasagna and other Italian dishes that featured this somewhat bland cheese.
Mozzarella string cheese recently entered my life when a
nutritionist recommended it as a snack.
I dutifully chomped my way through several large bags of mozzarella string cheese until it occurred to me, ‘Why not cut up a string cheese to use on homemade pizza?’ It worked surprisingly well on my one-person snack pizza, which took 5 minutes to make.

I covered an 8-inch flour tortilla with pizza sauce, a
sliced tomato and a mozzarella stick sliced thinly and placed on top. Then I heated the broiler to 550 degrees,
lowered the top rack so it was about 8 inches from the broiling unit and
grilled the ‘pizza’ for 90 seconds, just until the mozzarella stick melted. It was a great snack and not quite as boring
as string cheese!
