• 1 tablespoon fresh coriander or parsley, chopped

• Salt and red chilli flakes to taste

2. Mix the softened Moloko Butter with minced garlic, salt, and chopped coriander until well combined.

3. Spread the garlic butter generously over both halves of the sliced bread.

4. Lay Moloko Cheddar Cheese slices over the buttered surface — cover edge to edge for maximum coverage.

No pizza base? No problem. Naan bread makes a surprisingly excellent pizza base — crispy on the edges, soft in the middle — and Moloko Mozzarella Cheese melts over it beautifully. This is the perfect quick dinner for the whole family on a busy weeknight.

Ingredients:

• 2 large naan breads

• 150g Moloko Mozzarella Cheese (grated from cold)

• 4 tablespoons pizza sauce or tomato ketchup

• Toppings of your choice: bell peppers, olives, cooked chicken, mushrooms

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• Salt and chilli flakes to taste

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C or heat a tawa over high heat on the stove.

2. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each naan — leave a small border at the edges for a crust.

3. Distribute your toppings evenly across the sauce.

4. Grate cold Moloko Mozzarella over the top — be generous for a proper cheese pull.

5. Sprinkle oregano, salt, and chilli flakes to taste.

6. Bake in the oven for 7–8 minutes until the mozzarella is fully melted and golden. Alternatively, cover and cook on a tawa on low heat for 6–7 minutes.

Qeema is a Pakistani staple — but add a layer of melted Moloko Mozzarella on top and it becomes something truly special. This dish works beautifully as a roti filling, served over rice, or even stirred through pasta. It is rich, hearty, and ready in under 30 minutes.

• 1 teaspoon each: cumin, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala

• 1 tablespoon cooking oil, salt to taste, fresh coriander for garnish

2. Add minced meat and cook on high heat, breaking it apart as it browns — about 5 minutes.

3. Add all spices and salt. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add chopped tomatoes. Cook until the masala thickens and oil separates — about 10 minutes.

The classic mac and cheese gets a Pakistani twist — green chilli and a pinch of cumin add warmth to the creamy Moloko Cheddar sauce. This is a crowd-pleaser that both kids and adults genuinely love, and it comes together in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 250g macaroni (boiled and drained)

• 150g Moloko Cheddar Cheese Slices (torn or grated)

• 250ml full-cream milk

• 30g Moloko Butter

• 2 tablespoons plain flour, 1 green chilli (optional), ½ tsp cumin powder, salt and pepper

Method:

1. Boil macaroni until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. In the same pan, melt Moloko Butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.

3. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly — this prevents lumps and creates a smooth béchamel base.

4. Add torn Moloko Cheddar Cheese Slices and stir until fully melted into a smooth, creamy sauce.

5. Season with cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and green chilli.

6. Add the boiled macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated. Serve hot.

The humble paratha becomes something truly indulgent when stuffed with Moloko Cheddar Cheese and cooked in Moloko Butter. Crispy on the outside, gooey and cheesy inside — this is the weekend breakfast that no one in your family will ever forget.

Ingredients:

• 2 ready-made or homemade parathas

• 3–4 slices Moloko Cheddar Cheese Slices

• 30g Moloko Butter

• 1 egg per paratha (optional), green chutney or ketchup for serving, salt and chilli powder to taste

Method:

1. Place the paratha on a tawa over medium heat and add Moloko Butter — this gives the paratha a golden, crispy exterior with incredible depth of flavour.

2. While the paratha is still on the tawa, lay Moloko Cheddar Cheese slices directly on top.

3. Optional: Crack an egg over the paratha and spread it gently with a spatula for a cheese and egg version.

4. Season lightly with salt and red chilli powder.

5. Fold the paratha in half over the cheese and press down gently with the spatula.

6. Cook for another 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the cheese has fully melted. Roll tightly and serve with green chutney.
